Chypre et la bataille de Lépante. 2 v. "Fort documenté des cartes et plans très interessants; et quant au texte il n'est pas à douter qu'il n'ait été l'ob. jet de spéciales recherchés. Toutefois, il ne semble pas que l'auteur ait eu recours aux sources originales et il est à penser qu'il n'a eu d'autre ambition que de donner, en la forme qui lui est propre, la version que, avec l'aide des historiens de seconde main, un marin peut concevoir de la Bataille de Lépante."— F.

"Superior both in plot and agreeableness to several of Mrs. Kennard's previous works." Wm. Wallace in the Academy, June 16.

Kingston, W. B. A wanderer's notes. 2 v.

"The vein of pleasant irony running through the volumes will greatly tend to recommend them to most people, for the satire even when grimmest is never unkind, and serves as a 'sauce piquant' to the heavier chapters, albeit there are very few indeed of them. To say that Mr. Kingston is seldom dull might be to pay him a dubious compliment. We can safely say, however, that most people will laugh heartily over his stories, and enjoy his descriptions of many familiar and unfamiliar places and people. Once take up the book, and you are bound to go on with it, and when you have finished the Notes' the chances are that you will want to begin them again from the beginning." - Sat. rev., May 26.

"The Heptameron is an exceedingly pretty book. A book the impropriety of which has been grossly exaggerated by people who have never read it a book of interesting and rather puzzling authorship, and lastly, one which strikes the key-note of a certain time better almost than any other single work. There has evidently been no difficulty in selecting rather more than a third of the whole collection. Mr. Machen

has done his task very well, giving sufficient, but not excessive colour of archaism to the style, and avoiding those unlucky stumblings into modernity which some archaizing translators do not avoid."— Athenæum, Mar.

"The black arrow 'is a good thing, though by no means a perfect one. Mr. Stevenson has not hit we are not very clear that any one except Scott, Dumas, and sometimes Kingsley, has hit the extremely difficult mean between exaggerated archaism in the dialogue of an historical novel, and a complete disregard of the difference between ancient and modern speech. However, it is good from more points of view than one. To the critic it recommends itself as a very well seized picture of the welter of the Wars of the Roses, where one party would be triumphant in the morning, and flying for their lives at even, where men changed side (if they were not hanged too soon) as often as fortune, and where for the last time in English history the whole country knew, and sickened itselt once for all of, the state of war.'

The various questions requir ing treatment are handled with a perfect absence of prejudice, and with that faculty of judging evidence which the historians of special periods and special persons in our day display perhaps less often than any other quality. The general narrative is also good, and though Mr. Trail does not pretend to deal with military matters with any extreme minuteness, his handling of them is judicious and thorough.

Barrie, J. M. Auld Licht idylls.

"This is not only the best book dealing exclusively with Scotch humble life, but the only book of the kind deserving to be classed as literature that has been pub. lished for at least a quarter of a century. It is written in a style of clear, direct English, devoid of affectation and unmarrred by self-consciousness, but which, every tenth page or so, leads the reader into some ambuscade of what looks like quaintness, but is only realism touched with humour. Then, while Mr. Barrie deals exclusively with Scotch character, though not at all with those odious characters' that are perpetually posing as types, he does not indulge too much in the Scotch dialect or the Thrums variety of it. Finally, Mr. Barrie's descriptive power, which is little if at all inferior to his humour, and, like it, has the saving grace of selfrestraint, reminds one sometimes of Mr. Thomas Hardy, and sometimes of the late Mr. Richard Jefferies, but never of Mr. R. L. Stevenson, and seldom of Mr. William Black." Academy, May 26.

"M. de Broglie's aim has been to set in what is certainly a new, and, what he thinks to be a true light, the French policy, in relation to Germany, of those wars and aliances in the middle of the last century which gave, indeed, to France the almost solitary glory of Fontenoy, but which ended by stripping her of her colonial empire, disorganizing and disgracing her army, landing her in bankruptcy, and exhibiting something like a complete breakdown of her executive and administrative system. This aim the Duke has followed with immense industry, with considerable acuteness, and with an historical faculty which is only a little the worse for employing a style which is sometimes rather dry, and more than sometimes rather diffuse."- Sal. rev., June 2.

German socialism and Ferdinand

"Narrates the history and expounds the doctrines of German socialism in a very clear and interesting fashion. Mr. Dawson writes not as a controversialist, but as an expositor, a historian, and a bigrapher. He has drawn from original sources; he is well acquainted not only with the writings of the German socialists, but with the contemporary history, literature, and philosophy of Germany; and so is enabled, while isolating his special topic for separate examination, yet at the same time to exhibit its connexion with the general influences which have acted upon it, and on which it has reacted. Mr. Dawson's book exhibits the results of thorough and conscientious study. His knowledge, though full, is assimilated and digested, and falls into its natural place in the course of his exposition and narrative. It is a staff which sustains him, not a burden which presses him down." - Saturday review, June 30. Delaunay, I.. A.

It is still very hard for a thorough going Tory to do justice to Cromwell; it is not much easier for a thoroughgoing Liberal; while a person of the good old illogical Whig persuasion is equally weighted on the other side.
