En Memoriam. FRIEDLÄNDER.-On November the 4th, at Berlin, died Dr. Julius Friedländer, of the firm of Friedländer & Sohn, the well-known booksellers. Born at Berlin in 1827, he was educated there, at the Gymnasium, and at the University. He took his degree on his treatise on the convergence of the trignometrical series, and then went to the United States as a candidate for a professorship at one of the newly-founded Universities The death of his father compelled him to return to Berlin in 1853, where, though naturally prone to scientific studies. he endeavoured to acquire the practical knowledge which enabled him to carry on his business in a most successful manner. Friedländer & Sohn have published under his auspices not less than 335 catalogues on Natural History. He was of a thoroughly amiable character, and his friends will ever remember his kind manner and unassuming modesty. We are pleased to be able to announce that the business of the firm of Friedländer & Sohn will be carried on by Mr. Ernst Buschbeck, who has been a member of it for twenty-six years. JAMES.

Fleishman. 12mo. cloth, pp. ix. and 273. New York. 7s. 6d. This work was originally written and published in France to make the French people acquainted with an important and interesting phase of German literature. Heine expended on it a wealth of illustration and detail; while it ostensibly deals with the romantic school. it does in fact briefly but graphically touch on nearly all German literature, from the Nibelungenled down to about the date of its publication, 1833. The translator says: "It is, in fact, a review of Germ in literature by one of the masters of that literature." It has long been considered a classic of its kind, and the Encyclopædia Britannica in its article on Heine, pronounces it one of the two works which seem his best and most characteristic writings."
