This is the day of handy little books, which may
be carried about anywhere. We congratulate Messrs. Cassell on theft Pocket Library (3s. 6d. a volume), a new venture in this dired- tion. The binding, printing and paper used are all as good a§ anything we have yet had for such a price. The first four volumes, Tidemarks, by Mr. Tomlinson, Riceyman Steps, by Mr. Arnold Bennett, Jeremy, by Mr. Hugh Walpole, and the Memoirs of Vidocq, seem to us as mixed a company as one could conceive. It would surely be to the convenience of intending purchasers if some plan, however vague, were to be sketched out in the making of these little libraries. It is good to see that Messrs. Duckworth's New Readers Library contains in its last list of publications that exquisite book, W. II. Hudson's Hampshire Days.
