Studies of Shakespeare's Plays. By Frank Walters. (Sunday School Association.)—These

" studies " show evidence of honest work and research, though Mr. Walters acknowledges help from Shakespearian literature. His estimate of Lady Macbeth's character is just ; that of Lear and Othello is hardly, perhaps, so correct. Such " studies " as these help greatly towards a proper understanding and analysis of the plays.
