NEW EDITIONS AND REPRINTS.—Life of Her Majesty Queen , Victoria. By

G. Barnett Smith. (G. Routledge and Sons.)—This new edition of a book originally published on the occasion of the Queen's Jubilee, has now been supplemented by a narrative of events since 1887.

Possibly it might have been as well to postpone this volume.—A Thousand- and-One Gems of Poetry. Selected and arranged by Charles Mackay,. LL.D.
