NEw EnrrioNs.—Mr. R. H. Quick published in 1868 a valuable
and interesting work, which was, if we remember right, reviewed in this journal, Essays on Educational Reformers. Of this he
now sends out a new edition, or rather, imports for the benefit of English readers part of an American edition, published in Cincin- nati by Messrs. Robert Clarke and Co. The title-page bears also the name of an English publisher, Thomas Lawrie.—We have also a new edition of The Early English Church, by Edward Churton, Arch- deacon of Cleveland. (Pickering.)—A Digest of the Hindi Law of Inheritance and Partition, with Introduction, Notes, and Appendix, edited by Raymond West and Johann Georg Bahler (Bombay : Education Society's Press) ; and the "Author's edition" of The Ran- ger's Lodge, by Rosa Mackenzie Kettle. (James Weir.)—Domestic Medicine and Hygiene, by William J. Russell, M.B.—Lamb's Essays of Elia and Eliana, with a Memoir by Barry Cornwall (George Bell and Sons), forming two volumes of the excellent and well got-up pocket series now being issued by these publishers.—We have also to notice a handsome reprint of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, with Illustrations by Sir John Gilbert. (Nisbet.)—We have also received the Catholic Directory, Ecclesiastical Register, and Almanac for 1879 (Burns and Oates), with its full account of the Roman Catholic community in the British Isles.—The Congregational Year-Book, 1879 (Hodder and Stoughton), which contains, besides the usual statistical and other like matter, the "Proceedings of the Congregational Union for 1878," including Mr. Baldwin Brown's "Inaugural Address," and his "Address at the Autumnal Meeting ;" and various papers read at this last gathering.—The Leeward Islands Almanack, with which is incorporated the Dominica Almanack, compiled by Alexander Ramsey Lockhart. (Roseau, Dominica : Official Gazette Office.)—The Country Pocket-Book and Diary for 1879 (office of the Country), the object of which is to furnish country gen- tlemen, and all interested in our sports and pastimes, with a convenient means of registering or ascertaining any facts connected with rural pursuits ; and which seems well fitted for its purpose.—The second issue of the St. Albert's Diocesan Calendar. (Durant and Co., Chelms- ford ; Griffith and Farran, London.)
