Nzw EDITIONS. —The Vicar of Wakefield. By Oliver Gold- smith. (A.
and C. Black. 7s. Gd. net.)—This edition is preceded by a prefatory note, and by John Forsteee essay. And it is illustrated with reproductions of a number of water-colour drawings, from the hand of John Massie Wright, which are described as " a comparatively recent discovery." They are certainly " sympathetic." Few books have supplied more sub- jects to the artist ; but these drawings should rank high in their class.—From Messrs. Routledge we have received two volumes in the leather binding which can now, it seems, be executed so cheaply. These are Longfellow's Translation of the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, and A Thousand-and-one Gems of English Poetry.
Selected and Arranged by Charles Mackay, LL.D. (6s. each net). Ben Jenson, we may remark, did not write the famous epitaph,
"Underneath this sable hearse."—The Life of David Livingstone. By W. G. Blaikie, D.D. (John Murray. 2s. 6d. net.)—Uncle Joe's Stories, and Crackers for Christmas. By Lord Brabourne. (G. Routledge and Sons. 2s. 6d. each.)
