Shakespeare for Recitation. By the late John Millard. Edited by

Evelyn Millard. (Swan Sonnenschein and Co.)—Mr. Millard

was for many years Elocution Master at the City of London School. Here the annual " speech-day " recitations are largely, in obedience to the terms of an endowment, taken from Shake- speare. Mr. Millard, to whose excellences as a teacher Dr. Abbott, late head-master of the school, bears ample testimony, made these selections to supply this demand, and for other purposes. The selections number one hundred and twenty-five in all, and in- clude extracts from all the plays. The volume will be found very useful.
