    From Mr . Calmann- 1 m 6 vy , Paris . — 'Portraits d ' outre-Manehe . ' Madame Marie Drousart here presents

    us with a series of charming studies of celebrated English men and women — Sarah Duchess of Marlborotigh , Lord Chesterfield , Lady Mary

    Wort Princess ley Montagu Alice , and , Miss Anthony Berry , G- Trollope eorge Eliot . , The the essay on Miss BeTry gives occasion for notices of

    Madame de Staei in England , of Benjamin Constant , & c . ; that on Greorge Eliot introduces a bright sketch of G-. H . Lewes , his mind and his

    conversation ; and the account of Anthony Trollope brings in Mrs . Trollope his mother , and her heroic exertions in retrieving the 'fortunes of her

    family—efforts the like of which , as the author says , destroyed Sir Walter Scott . ' Portraits d ' outre-Manche' is a little volume which will be

    acceptable to many an English reader . From Messrs . Macmillan & Co . — ' Messis Vitse /

    by Emeritus Professor Blackie . It ^\ B a mere fiction of speech to call our old friend , Professor ¦ ¦ Bla ^ — - ~ ckie ~ — , * ™— Emeritus ^^^ - _ - ^ r —¦¦ —— ¦ - ^ - ^^^ . ^ ' ^ He ^^—^^^ - ^^ will w w ^^^^ f ^^ never ^ m ^ m ^ m ^ » ^^ ^^ be »^^ — ' unfit —*^

    song is a proof of it . It is addressed , , to his ' dear young friends . ' The students of the Scottish Universities ( and these are often rather

    is nothing if Dot Scotch , and many of the verses are of the genuine thistle type , but in the ' Curse of Scotland' he shows that he is able to look at

    and indications of , the pronunciation for use in Germany . The class of society which employs particular words is designated by a series of symbols ,

    of which there is a list at the beginning of the work . The dictionary is preceded by an essay on familiar English , with examples of the sources

    from which the words are derived , extending over more than three hundred years . We find specimens of gipsies ' sailors ' sportsmen ' sand

    other JL peculiar dialects « - ? A . . , While acknowled , IT ging , the labour and learning employed on the book , we may be permitted to say that enthusiasm has

    here and there carried the author a little too far . For example , dawg' is not a word , but an attempt to indicate mispronunciation . On the

    other hand , we will add that the slang ditty with which * Londonismen' commences , if it be the author ' s own compositionis a veritable tour de
