NEW EDITIONS.—A new issue of Mr. H. Lincoln Tangye's In
New South Africa (Simpkin and Co., es.), though it appears in the original form of the first edition in 18f..43, is interesting from a comparative point of view.—We have received a cheap popular edition of The Secret History of the Oxford Movement (Swan Sonnenschein and Co., Is.), and a new but unchanged edition of Unbeaten Tracks in Japan (George Newnes, 6s. Cui.), which, in spite of the changes in Japan, Mrs. Bishop thinks will still give a faithful picture of the Mikado's Empire.—There are also fresh editions of Real Pictures of Clerical Life in Ireland, by Dr. Craig (Elliot Stock, 7s. 6d.), and Sir Hubert Parry's Studies of Great Composers (G. Routledge and Sons).—Sir George Douglas, Bart., edits John Galt's Ringan Gilhaize (Greening and Co., 5s.), which he describes as "a neglected masterpiece." "The New Century Library" (T. Nelson and Sons, 2s. per vol.) is represented by Oliver Twist, The 0/4 Curiosity Shop, and Pvidennis; and there are two volumes of "Temple Classics" (J. M. Dent and Co., ls. 6d.), Carlyle's Heroes and Cowper's Task. —Cassell's Lessons in French, 145th thousand (Cassell and Co., 3s. 6d.), has been brought up to date ; and with this we may notice English Poetry for Schools, Part II., by George Cookson (Macmillan and Co., 3s. 6d.)—Calendar of the Royal University of Ireland.
