CURRENT LITERATURE.

The Classical Review. February. (D. Nutt.)—The present number of this periodical shows, we are glad to see, signs of advance. Relations have been established with American scholars, who will have an editorial committee on the other side of the Atlantic. One of the immediate results of this most desirable alliance is an increase in the size of the Review. The present, a double, number contains ninety-six pages. At the same time, notice is taken, and will be taken, doubtless, more fully hereafter, of the manifold activities of American scholarship. Professor Wright, of Harvard, contributes a letter on " Classical Education in the United States," the first of a proposed series which cannot fail to be of much interest to English readers. We renew our good wishes for the Classical Review on its entering on its third year of existence with these larger hopes and means of usefulness.
