PLAYS OF EDMOND ROSTAND. Translated by Henderson Daingerfield Norman. (Cecil

Palmer. 2 vols. £2 2s.) This is a very good translation of these well-known plays, and in this edition it is elaborately, though not well published. The paper is good but the printing dull, and the binding is highly unattractive. It is a pity, too, that such good work has to suffer Mr. Glidden's somewhat arty-and-crafty " illustrations. Mrs. Norman has done her work well and with the gusto of the original. She deserved better of her publishers.
