SarooL - BooKs. — Ovicrs Tristia. Book I. Edited by G. H. Wells, M.A.
(Blackie and Son. ls. 6d.)—The Tristia might well be more used as a school-book than it is. Its advantages are obvious, more than compensating, for practical purposes, for any literary inferiority. Mr. Wells has a practised hand in school editions, and what he does may be commended without reserve. —The same publishers send us in their series of "English School Texts," Edited by W. H. D. Rouse, Litt.D., Defoe's Journal of the Plague (8d.), and The Companions of Columbus, by Washington Irving (8d.)—In the " Carmelite Classics" (Horace Marshall and Sons, 6d. per vol.), Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury Tales and Milton's Comas.—Messrs. Jack send us a series of "Jack Readers" (3d.-1s.), and Roman and Saxon England (1s.), in the series of " Historical Readers."—Other publications are French by the Direct Method, by Thomas Cartwright, M.A., adapted from the German of Rossmann and Schmidt (same publishers) ; Bedford High School Conversational German Grammar, by A. Meyer (Blackie and Son, ls. 6d.) ; Hermann and Dorothea, Edited by Julius F. Schilling (same publishers, (i1) ; Preliminary Geometry, by Rawdon Roberts (Is.), and Elementary Plane Geometry (es.), (same publishers) ; Botany Rambles : Autumn, by Ella Thomson (Horace Marshall and Sons).
