joy on the occasion, and of extrolling the virtues of the man to whom she intended to link her destiny. The ambassador then took leave, having received Zeefa's instructions to express her gratitude to Nadir Shah for the interest he had taken in her welfare. The ship being ready, the once haughty, now downcast, Zekey Khan in chains followed the ambassador, accompanied by Guzzub Ali, his now amply avenged servant. Moye-ed-din, although he could not get rid of the Persian lady, was as pleased as his master at the happy termination of the business, and ventured to represent to the Nuwab that it was owing to Buxoo the existence of Zeefa was ever known, upon which the Nuwab settled on the loquacious shaver a pension for life, and bestowed on Moye-ed-din a rich khilaat, or robe of honour. The six months required by Zeefa to mourn the fate of Humza having expired, the day was fixed for the nuptials; but as it was not an early one, and much preparation being requisite, Moyeed-din ventured to ask the Nuwab whether the stories should be continued. 'No, no!' said the Nuwab, 'release the story-tellers; tell them I am well satisfied, and present each with one hundred rupees, as a reward for their trouble and loss of time.' The preparations for the wedding now commenced, and for splendour and magnificence could not have been exceeded by the Emperor himself. Beggars were fed and clothed, prisoners released, honours conferred, and injuries forgiven. Fireworks and rockets and salutes resounded through the air, whilst drums, trumpets, and cymbals drowned all care throughout the city. The wedding itself was conducted with solemnity and magnificence, and the happy pair retired to the Mahumed-a-baugh palace, there to breathe their loves amidst silvery fountains and shady groves. Buxoo appeared once in every month before the Nuwab to make his salaam for his pension, and sometimes the Nuwab would require from him an amusing tale; but the syren voice and exquisite beauty of Zeefa now chiefly engrossed his leisure hours.

Being a Manual of Geometry on the French System. By J. R. Morell. The chief features of the work are :-The separation of Theorems and Problems-The Natural Sequence of reasoning; areas being treated by themselves and at a later page— The simpler and more natural treatment of ratio-The legitimate use of arithmetical applications, of transposition, and superposition-The general alteration of language to a more modern form-Lastly, if it be assumed to be venturesome to supersede the timehallowed pages of Euclid it may be urged that the attempt is made under the shelter of very high authorities. THE PHYSICS AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE SENSES; OR THE MENTAL AND THE PHYSICAL IN THE MUTUAL RELATION. By R. S. Wyld, F.R.S.E. Illustrated by Several Plates.
