The Bookworm. (Elliot Stock.)—This " Illustrated Treasury of Old-Time Literature"

is not less interesting than usual. The notes on books old and new, libraries, or various curiosities of the world of literature, are often highly curious and valuable.— Another periodical devoted to books is The Bookman (Hodder and Stoughton), the first volume of which (October, 1891—March, 1892) we have to acknowledge. The portraits, eight in number, are a special feature.
