A Decade of Years. (The Doves Press, 15 Upper Mall,

Ham- mersmith.)—This is a selection from the poems of William Wordsworth, the " decade " being the period 1798-1807. The thought occurs that here we might have the contrast between the first and the second thoughts of the poot about the French Revolu- tion, but the object of the book is different. It is intended to present "as a whole and subjectively those characteristics which make Wordsworth pre-eminently the poet and interpreter of the mysticisms of nature." Externally the volume is a fine specimen of good printing ; type, paper, and the format generally are all that could be desired. We will give the names of those who have co-operated. Printer, J. J. Cobdon-Sanderson; Compositor, William Jenkins ; Pressmen, H. Gage-Cole and Albert Lewis. When good work is done lot all workers share the praise.
