I have rarely known him more honestly moved,” —Fousten's Lirz oF Dickens.

"Tt would hate been a veal loss to bibliographical literature had copyvight difficulties deprived the general public of this very amusing collection. One of Thackeray's habits, from his schoolboy days, was to ornament the margins and Blank pages of the books he had in use with caricature illustrations of their contents. This gave special value to the sale of his library, and ts almost cause for vegret that it could not have been preserved in its integrity. Thackeray's place in literature is eminent enough to have made this an_ interest to future generations.

" What would the gossips of old have given for a book which opened to them the vecesses of every County Family in the Three Kingdoms?, - Lhis work, however, will serve other purposes besides thase of mere curiosity, envy, or malice. It is just the book for the lady of the house to have at hand when making up the County dinner, as it gives exactly that information which punctilious and particular people are so desirous of obtaining—the exact standing of every person in the county. To the business man, ' The County Families' stands in the place of directory and biographical dictionary, The fund of information it affords respecting the Upper Ten Thousand must give it a place in the lawyers library; and to the moneylender, who is so interested in finding out the difference between a gentleman and a 'gent,' between heirs-at-law and younger sons, Mr, Walford has been a real benefactor. In this splendid volume he has managed to meet a universal want—one which cannot fail to be felt by the lady in her drawing-room, the peer in his library,
