_The Natural History of Balmoral._--Dr. William Macgillivray, Professor of
Civil and Natural History in the Marischal College of Aberdeen, and who
died there Sept. 5, 1852, left an unpublished MS. on "The Natural History
of Balmoral and its Neighbourhood." This work has been purchased from his
executors by His Royal Highness Prince Albert; and is to be printed for the
use of Her Majesty and the Royal Family, and for circulation among their
august relatives. It was the last work on which the distinguished author
was engaged, and was only completed a short time previous to his death. It
also contains some curious speculations regarding several plants and herbs
of that Alpine district, and their uses in a medicinal and domestic point
of view, as known to the ancient Caledonians and Picts. Altogether it is a
most interesting work.
