The fifth and sixth volumes of Lord MAHON's _History of England_,
embracing the first years of the American war, 1763-80, were also nearly
ready. We regret that the earlier volumes of this important history,
edited by Professor Reed, of Philadelphia, and published by the
Appletons, have not been so well received as to warrant an expectation
that the continuation will be reprinted.

SIR JAMES STEPHEN'S _Lectures on the History of France_, is an
exceedingly interesting work, of which we hope to see an American
edition. The author is well known in this country, by the largely
circulated volume of his _Miscellanies_, published in Philadelphia, a
few years ago. The present work consists of discourses delivered by him
as professor of History in the University of Cambridge, and though not
of the highest rank among systematic histories, it is inferior to very
few in occasional grouping and character painting.

The third volume of Mr. MERRIVALE's _History of the Romans under the
Empire_; the ninth and tenth volumes of Mr. GROTE'S _History of Greece_;
and a seventh edition of SHARON TURNER'S _History of the Anglo-Saxons_,
are among the most interesting English announcements in historical
literature.

The _Life of Dr. Chalmers_, by Dr. Hanna, will extend to four volumes;
the third, just re-published by the Harpers, is the most interesting yet
issued. We observe that a volume of _Reminiscences of Chalmers_ has been
published in London, by Mr. JOHN ANDERSON.

ALICE CAREY'S _Clovernook, or Recollections of our Neighborhood in the
West_, has just been published by Mr. Redfield, in one volume,
illustrated by Darley. To those who have read one of the introductory
chapters of this work which we copied into the _International_ for
November, it seems quite unnecessary to say any thing in illustratio
