Plutarch's Lives for Boys and Girls. Freely retold by W.

H. Weston. (T. C. and E. C. Jack. 7s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Weston has taken twelve of the "Lives," dividing the choice equally between Greek and Roman worthies. His selection is, we think, judicious. For a book of this kind it is well to take the best-known characters. Mr W. Rainey furnishes sixteen spirited drawings in colour.
