"Steps to Literature" (E. Arnold) consists of seven volumes (III.
being subdivided into III. and Ha.), in which the reader progresses from "tales of the Homeland," suited for young children, to specimens of world literature. It is, as far as we have been able to examine it, a carefully graduated series which ought to give the learner a wide view of the great books of the world. The volumes are entitled Tales of the Homeland (10d.) ; Tales of Many Lands (ls.); Stories from English Literature, 2 vols. (ls. 3d.. ls. 6c1.) ; Readings on the Empire (1s. 6d.) ; Readings on Europe (1s. 6d.); and Glimpses of World Literature (is. 6d.) These reading-books are intended for use on parallel lines along with the same publisher's " Home and Abroad Geographical Readers." -In Longmans' "Class-Books of English Literature" we have William Morris's Story of the Glittering Plain (1s. 6d.), and The Man Born to be King (is. 41)
