Undergraduate Oxford. By Edward C. Lefroy, B.A. (Slatter and Rose

; Simpkin and Marshall.)—Mr. Lefroy has reprinted twenty and more articles contributed by him in the course of the years 1876-7 to the Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduates' Journal. These are of very varying merit, some being very crude, others possessing no little good-sense and humour. The smaller social questions have supplied the writer with his best subjects. Such topics as "The Endowment. of Research" might have been more judiciously left to more qualified pens.
