The Classical Review, 1889. (D. Nutt.)—This Review grows in size,

importance, and interest. An arrangement made with scholars on the other side of the Atlantic has enabled the pub- lisher and editors to add considerably to the available space. At the same time, due attention is paid to the activity now mani- fested by American scholars. Some particularly good and original grammatical papers have appeared in the Review during the year ; and the record and criticism of classical works published here and elsewhere has been careful and prompt. Nor must we forget to mention some interesting obituary notices,—Cobet, to whom tribute was paid by an eminent disciple, Dr. Rutherford of West- minster, being perhaps the most distinguished name.

We may mention three volumes which may be described as avant-couriers of the great forthcoming work in which Mr. Stanley will tell his own story of the relief of Emin Pasha. These are :- Stanley's Emin Pasha Expedition, by A. J. Wauters (John C. Nimmo) ; Stanley, and his Heroic Relief of Emin Pasha, by E. P. Scott (Dean and Son) ; and Henry M. Stanley, the African Explorer, by Arthur Montefiore (S. W. Partridge), a "new edition, revised and enlarged."

We have received the annual volume of a useful periodical, Bible Women and Nurses (Cassell and Co.), " a record of the work of the London Bible and Domestic Female Mission."
