Outlines of Norwegian Grammar. By T. Y. Sargent M.A., Fellow

of Magdalen College, Oxford. (Rivingtons.)—Mr. Sargent has conferred a boon upon travellers in Norway by the publication of this little grammar. Whilst complete in its way, it gives just the amount of information required by a man who wants to qualify himself to be his own interpreter for &month or two. The examples illustrating the rules are selected from the circle of " common waste," so that the student on his travels may learn his lesson and get his breakfast at the same time, turning the waiter into a private tutor. The book has the advantage of being just the size for the pocket.
