Churton's Library for the Million. Part I., "A History of Charlemagne." By G. P. R. JAMES, Esq., author of "Darnley." Part II., "A History of the Conquest of Mexico." By W. H. PRESCOTT. Condensed by the Rev. J. H. CAUNTER, B.D. Under the title of a 66 Library for the Million," Mr. Churton has entered the field with an eighteen-penny series, which, according to the prospectus, is to embrace either reprints of works of moderate bulkheretofore far too expensive for the general reader-or carefully rewritten condensations of more voluminous publications. The two works, comprised in the Parts already issued, are a fair specimen of the publisher's plan, one being a reprint in its entirety, and the other an able, well-executed abridgment, fully preserving the peculiar charm of the original, but omitting a vast deal of uninteresting matter. As far as we can judge from the samples before us, we know of no work so worthy to be placed by the side of the Home and Colonial Library as this very neat, cheap, and interesting miscellany.
