-'--A third edition, published at an interval of nine years from the appearance of the second, this having come two months after the first. (We may say a word of commendation, by-the-way, of the excellent practice which Messrs. Macmillan have adopted of giving a list of editions on the fly-loaf of a new issue.)—The Study of Celtic Literature, and Irish Essays and Others. By Matthew Arnold. (Smith and Elder.)—" Popular editions."— The Poetical Works of George Herbert. Edited by the Rev. A. B. Grosart, LL.D. (Bell and Sons.)—" A revised edition."

Edited by William Aldis Wright. Vol. I. (Same publishers.)—This is recognised as the standard edition of Shakespeare, so far as the text is concerned. The first volume contains The Tempest, Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Measure for Measure, and The Comedy of Errors. Mr. Wright dates his preface to the second edition, "1887 ;" but it is given as "1887" in the note of editions.—Studies in Literature, by John Morley (same publishers), a volume of reprinted essays. "Words- worth" appeared as the introduction to an edition of that poet. " Aphorisms " was an address delivered at Edinburgh ; "On the Study of Literature," also an address, delivered in London. The other essays have appeared either in the Nineteenth Century or the Fortnightty Reviews, the last in the book being a " Valedictory " which appeared when the author retired from the editorship of the latter of these two periodicals. The new volume of "The Carisbrooke Library," edited by Henry Morley, LL.D. (G. Routledge and Sons), is The History of Florence, by Niccolo Machiavelli, reprinted from the translation of Machia- velli's works first published in l675.
