    of view only in this volume , I believe that the next chapter will be infinitely grander ; and I am confident that it will both illustrate and

    confirm those Liberal principles of legislation —I would rather say , those Radical principles —to which I have been attached from my

    youth up , and which I cherish in ever-increasing affection with advancing years . ' A useful appendix and a good index form part of

    the volume . We have before us a copy of the tenth

    prize of a hundred guineas given by that enterprising firm having been divided between Mr . Goadley % / and Mr . Watt . The

    essays give a very instructive account of the condition of trade in the country . Professor Levi ' s introductory chapter ( read at the recent

    meeting of the British Association ) is a valuable contribution to economical science . Mr . James Murdoch , in the preface to his History of r Constitutional bviv Reform mm ihvhhb in hv Great mmim

    comprehensive and fair account of the progress of reform in this country . The contents are

    divided into six sections . The first refers to the theory of political government , the second

    to the contests for supremacy by the three estates , the position of affairs in 1688 being the

    subject of the third section , while the fourth is devoted to the position of the country at that time . Bfar the largest portion of the
