In Memoriam. With a Commentary by L. Mord, LL.D. (Hodder

and Stoughton. 2s. 6d. net.)—We would specially call attention to this very convenient edition. Without disparaging More elaborate works, we may say that the great poem is given here, with footnotes supplying. the necessary explanations, in as

serviceable a way as possible. It may well be read at one or two sittings in this way, to the no small advantage of the reader. There will be much left to be learnt afterwards, but the general conception thus gained will be invaluable.
