The Visions of Ville gas. Made English by R. L.

(Methuen and Co. 25.)—Most readers have no acquaintance with Villegaa (Quevedo) beyond that which William Cowper supplies in his quotation about the Kings in hell. Here, in a very neat little volume, is the whole book, as presented in the very vigorous English of " R. L.," a translator of the seventeenth century. It is not exactly intended virginibus pus risque, but it is good to read.
