Nzw EDITION8.—We have received a "new and cheap" edition of

The Naturalist in La Plata, by W. H. Hudson, Illustrated by J. Snit (J. M. Dent and Co., 5s. net). "Cheap" it certainly is with its three hundred and ninety-four pages and its thirty illustrations. The plates, it may be remarked, are new for this edition. For the quality of the text the reputation of the author and the success of his work are sufficient guarantee. It was published in February, 1892; a new edition was called for in June of that year, and a third in 1895. That now before us is the fourth.—The Moon, Considered as a Planet, a World, and a Satellite. By James Nasmyth and James Carpenter. (John Murray. 5s. net.)—This also is, as will be noticed, a cheap edition.—Lingard's History of England. (Bell and Sons. 5s.) Newly abridged and brought down to the Accession of King Edward VII., with a Preface, by Abbot Gasquet, M.A.
