The Classical Translation Library. By T. S. Peppin. (Hodder and

Stoughton.)—This is a series of translations of " sot " books in Latin and Greek (three volumes are before us,—viz., Livy, xxvii., Homer's Odyssey, ix., and Virgil's Xneid, i.). They are adapted to the convenience, if not the benefit of candidates, for the classical text is on one page and the English version on the other. The version is not of commanding merit. Lonsdale and Lee for Virgil, and Butcher and Lang for Homer. will certainly be preferable ; and for Livy, Baker will, to say the least, be just as good.
