We have received from Messrs. Cassell additional volumes of their

"People's Library" (8d. net, cloth, and Is. 6d., leather). Among them there are the Poetical Works of H. W. Longfellow; George Borrow's Bible in Spain ; The Opium-Eater, and other Writings, by Thomas de Quincey ; The Last of the Mohicans, by Fenimore Cooper ; The Tower of London, by W. Harrison Ainsworth ; Lord Lytton's Last Days of Pompeii; and Mrs. Gaskell's Cranford. The choice is good, and the books in their general "get up" are not unworthy of it.—In Messrs. Grant Richards's "Penny Classics" have been published Sesame and Lilies, by John Ruskin, and Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.
