Naw EDITIONS.—The Coronation Service: with Introduction and Notes. Edited by

the Rev. Joseph H. Pemberton. Fifth Edition, Revised and Enlarged. (Skeffington and Son. 2s. 6d. net.)— Mediaeval London. By William Benham, D.D., and Charles Welch. (Seeley and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—In the " Centenary Edition of the Works of Charles Dickens" (Chapman and Hall) we have Sketches by Bog, 2 vols., with the Prefaces, to the First Edition, dated " Furnivars Inn, February, 1836," to the Second in August of the same year, and to the first cheap edition fourteen years later ; and Oliver Twist, with the Prefaces of 1841 and 1850. The series is to consist of thirty-six volumes, and will be com- pleted by the publication of the "Miscellaneous Papers, Plays, and Poems " in September next. The price is 31. 6d. per vol., and in view of the fact that the volumes are large octavo, in neat binding, with excellent type and large margins, and that they are furnished with the original illustrations—the three volumes contain eighty—the price is very low. The total cost will be six guineas, less discount.—In the " Queen's Treasures Series " (George Bell and Sons, 2s. 6d. net) we have Silas Hamer, by George Eliot, Illustrated by M. V. Wheelhouse. Some people think, and they are not far wrong, that Silas Marna is the very beet novel in the world.
