      When one speaks of a ' quarterly , ' it is usually understood that bulky matter is on the

      tapis . The Imperial Review ( Melbourne : A . McKinley & Co . ) is an exception ; it is a

      bright publication , full of quaint notes on current top ^ m ics — , —^ and — — ^^— h — — on — —™~^^™ ^ literature —^ h - ^^ ~^^* ^^^ ^^ b—^ f ^^ p ~^^^^ F ^^^> ° " ^^ F » , ^ BJ science F ^^ F ^ . * ^^ " ^^ . ^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^ " ^ ^^ " ^ , ^ B and ^ " ^ ^^ ^^¦ ™ ~— ^^

      A catalogue of books published in the United States during the 1887 is iven in

      the American Bookseller year of February g 1 . In the same number will be found a list of

      Philadelphia , 34 . Jobmann ' s ' Treasury of Monograms' (

      Leipzig : G . Hedeler ) is fertile in invention , rich and artistic in taste , so that the publication

      will be very useful to engravers , lithographers , & c , especially as attention has been paid to rendering the monograms practically available .

      The execution of the plates by Mr . H . Dora , of Leipzig , is first-rate .

      In India they seem to take much more interest in geography than we do . A firm of

      drapers , tailors , and general importers in Rangoon gave great prominence recently to an

      advertisement announcing as a special attraction the receipt of Another 500 copies of the New ¦ Map of Bukmah ¦ . Unfortunately i the
