Schools for Girls, and Colleges for Women. By Charles Eyre

Pascoe. (Hardwicke and Begue.)—Mr. Pascoe gives us, we may venture to say, all the available information which is to be got on the subject of his book. We have a list of "Colleges and High Schools," of "Endowed Schools," and of "Private Schools." A separate chapter deals with "School Expenses." Copious specimens are given of the papers set at the Universities' Local Examinations. In short, this is a very useful manual, though the arrangement might have been better. We can only regret that there is really so little to be said—compared with what there might and ought to be to say on this topic.
