SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.

[Under this heading we notice such Books of the week as have not been reserved for review in other forms.] In the series of "Tudor Translations" we have Vols. II. and III. of The English Bible Translated out of the Original Tongues by the Commandment of King James the First, II. containing "Judges to Esther " ; III., "Job to Solomon's Song." It will be understood that the text followed is that of the editio princeps, so -• far as orthography is concerned. But the typography has been varied; poetry is arranged differently from prose; the verse division has been dropped, and that of paragraphs substituted. Vol. VI., which, it is hoped, will appear before the end of the year, is to contain a "Terminal Essay" by the editor, Mr. W. E. Henley.
