Nrw EDITIONS. — An Adventure. (Macmillan and Co. Ss. 61 net.)—The story
of the two ladies who, on a visit to the Petit Trianon, were under the impression that they saw their surround- ings as they existed at the time of Marie Antoinette will be still fresh in our readers' recollection. A new edition of their narrative has now appeared, which contains an appendix with some fresh evidence upon the circumstances and a number of eighteenth- century plans of the Trianon gardens.—Inipressions and Opinions. By George Moore. (T. Werner Laurie. Os. net.)—Mr. Moore is reissuing some of his earlier works in a uniform edition. We gather from the very characteristic preface that two of the essays in the original edition have been replaced by others.—Gitanjali (Song Offerings). By Rabindranath Tagore. (Macmillan and Co. 4s. 6d. net.)—These prose translations of the translator's own Bengali poems proved such a success as to inspire Mr. Beerbohm with one of the caricatures now being exhibited in Leicester Square. The success has also encouraged the publishers to issue a cheaper edition which, like the original one, contains an introduction in very effusive terms by Mr. W. B. Yeats.—The Troublesome Reign of King John. Edited by F. J. Furnivall and John Munro. (Chatto and Windus. 2s. 6d. net.)—The new volume of the collec- tion known as "The Shakespeare Classics" contains a reprint of the play from which Shakespeare concocted "King John." This edition, we learn, contains the last work to which Dr. Furnivall put his pen.—Moliere: (Euvres Completes. 6 vols. (Nelson and Sons. is. each.)—Such an attractively designed and excellently printed Moliere at such a low price is sure to find many English purchasers. Our only regret is that the feeble illustrations could not have been omitted.
