We have received a copy of "An Inder to Dr. Williams' 'Syllabic Dictionary of the Chinese Language,'" by Mr James Achosen, I. M. Customs, Canton. The book, which is clearly printed, is intended as an aid fo Students of Chinese in using Williams' largo work, and, from the painstaking carefulness shown by the modest ponng author, we should think that this landsblo object has been attained. Mr. Acheson, in his Preface, says “Every care has been | taken to make the references as correct as
possible. Very little pretension is made to Boisntifie securacy in other respects, and short comings may be discovered, but it is yet anticipated that the book will attain its principal object and assist students of Chinese in meeting a widely-acknowledged difficulty."

A HANDY book for those connected with or interested in Parliamentary Government has just bean published. In Crown Colo nies where those who have had a training and an experience in "the House" are gover. nora, the rule in, and is is an admirable one, to conduct all the business of the Council in accordance with Parliamentary Procedure, But there are cases in which this cannot be done. The circumstances are different. The fact of a Colonial Governor not being an independent sovereign, but an official under orders, necessarily gives rise, as is very properly pointed out to
me novelties to working the system of responsible government in the colonies; and a sufficient number of difficult oKSON have already arisen to justify their being grouped together and studied.

LONDON, Jan. 10. There are renewed rumours of a con- centration of Russian troops on the,German Frontier.
We are somewhat surprised to hear that. notwithstanding the living interest of the subject on which the volume treats, and the reputation of the author, the London publisher will not take the risk of issning the work, in consequence of the general dulness of the times. The Canadian Gov. erdient has come to the rescue, and ordered four hundred copies. If there should be any necessity for any further assistance of the same kind from other colonial Govern. ments, we doubt not that it will be readily rendered.
