NEW Enrrious.—The Epistle to the Ephesians its Doctrine and Ethics.
By R. W. Dale, M.A. (Hodder and Stoughton.)—We expressed our high opinion of these lectures on the occasion of their first publication, and it is needless to do more than welcome the appearance of a third edition, a gratifying proof of the acceptability of really sound and thorough work.—Through Masai-Land, by Joseph Thompson (Sampson Low and Co.), a book of which the in- terest is still further increased that Masai-Land now practically forms part of the Empire, and is, Mr. Thompson thinks, a most valuable possessiou.-3facminan's Latin Course, by A. M. Cook, M.A. (Mac- millan), appears in a second edition, with additional exercises and improved apparatus in the way of dictionaries. It is a well. conceived and useful class book, but in one or • two places the Latin would have been the better for a little revision.

Edited by C. Tongue. "Fourth Revised Edition." (Whittaker and Co.)—We are glad to see a sixth thousand of Free Public Libraries. By Thomas Greenwood. (Simpkin and Marshall.)—Mr. Greenwood, after giving some particulars, historical and other, about the library movement, proceeds to the largest and most important section of his work, an account of "aome provincial free libraries," actual or in progress. It is gratifying to know that, in spite of some lamentable exceptions, the cause is making good progress. Chapters on pro- moting it still farther by "educating public opinion," on the regula- tion and management of such libraries, /to., are added.—The latest addition to "Morley's Universal Library" is The Banquet of Dante Alighieri, translated by Elizabeth Price Sayer (Rontledge and Son); and that of "The World Library," edited by the Rev. H. B. Haweis, and also published by Messrs. Roatledge, The Essays of Elia — In reprints of fiction, we have The Mayor of Casterbridge, by Thomas Hardy (Sampson Low and Co.) ; Aslegh Clough : a Cheshire Story, by H.
