NEW EDITIONS. — In "The Works of William Shakespeare" (G. Newnes), we

have Vols. XI., XII., which bring the edition to completeness. They contain respectively Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, Cymbeline, and Pericles, with the Poems. A chrono- logical table at the end gives the dates of the plays, &c., marking the different conjectures of various Shakespearian students. There are only five plays about which there is an absolute agree- ment. In The Winter's Tale the conjectures vary by as much as seventeen years,—i.e., between 1594 and 1611.—In Messrs. Macmillan's admirable " Library of English Classics" we have The Works of Sterne (2 vole., 7s. net).—Latengro. By George Borrow. (John Murray. 6s.)—Containing the prefaces of 1851 and 1872, with some suppressed episodes now printed for the first time, edited by the author of the " Life of George Borrow."— The Transvaal Boers. By Africanus. (H. Marshall and Son. 2s.) —The Case against Picketing. By W. J. Shaxby. (Liberty Review Publishing Company. ls. 6d.)
