Much interest attaches to this work as the only complete and authentic account which we possess of the vast territories extending from the Ural Mountains to Beh-ring's Straits, of which less is known, than perhaps of any other densely inhabited portion of the globe. Dr. Erman devoted several years to these researches, and has embodied in these volumes a large amount of curious and novel information.

MEMOIRS OF AN HUNGARIAN LADY.
BY THERESA PULSZKY.
WITH AN HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION BY FRANCIS PULSZKY.
In one neat volume, royal 12mo., extra cloth. We need hardly inform our readers that the authoress of this work is the accomplished wife of the gentleman who was originally accredited to the English Cabinet by the Provisional Government of Hungary. The private interest attaching; to the recital of events which have become so famous, would ensure a wide popularity for Madame Pulszky's book. But we should very much underestimate its value if we so limited our praise. The Memoirs, indeed, contain sketches of social life which are worthy of a place by the side of Madame de Stahl de Launay and Madame Campan. But they are also rich in political and topographical information of the first character. Madame Pulszky was in the habit of direct intercourse with the foremost and most distinguished of the Hungarian generals and statesmen, and has given a complete summary of the political events in Hungary, from the arrival of the Hungarian Deputation in 1848, to the treason of General Georgy on the 13th of August, 1849. M. Puls-zky has also prefixed a valuable introduction, which gives the most complete History of Hungary that has ever issued from the English press. - Globe.
