Notes.

The article presents an overview of several literary publications. By the preparation of 'A Catalogue of the Library of Adam Smith,' Mr. James Bonar, the editor, and Messrs Macmillan, the publishers, have won the gratitude of every economic bibliophile. Smith's collection seems to have numbered some three thousand volumes--a library which Dugald Stewart could not help speaking of as "small," although he was kind enough to add that it was "excellent" and "formed with great judgment." The last number of the Proceedings of the Psychical Research Society contains, in its report of the Committee on the "Census of Halucination," the solidest and heaviest piece of work which it has yet published, and if dry- ness and dulness can make a thing scientific, then these 400 pages are as scientific as the most fastidious intellect can desire.
