Mills, M.A. (W. B. Clive, is. 6d.), in the "University Tutorial Series."—Messrs. A. and C Black have published school editions of Ivanhoe, Quentin Durward, and The Talisman (is. 6d. per vol.) Each of these is furnished with an historical intro- duction in which the author's deviations from history are pointed out. Such a correction is needed, but once made the novels are excellent helps to the learner. The editor of Ivanhoe is J. Higharn, M.A.; of Quentin Durward, H. W. Ord, B.A. ; of The Talis- man, W. Melven, M.A. There are notes also, kept within a reasonable compass —We have also received from the same publishers The Lay of the Last Minstrel, edited by W. M. Mackenzie, MA., and The Lady of the Lake, by R. G. McKinley, MA. These are similarly equipped, the introduction naturally including more of the element of criticism.—English-Spanish and Spanish-English Dictionary. By G. F. Barwick. (Eyre and Spottiswoode.)
