Blundell's Worthies. By M. L. Banks. (Chatto and Windus. 7s.

6d.)—This is an interesting volume, for, indeed, it has much to attract others besides those who are connected with the Blundell School at Tiverton. There are twenty-five "worthies "—possibly the word is applied in a technical application to some of them— here commemorated, the editor contributing eleven of the notices. The most famous names are Sir John Popham, Samuel Wesley, Abraham Hayward, R. D. Blackmore, and Frederick Temple. We may add Bamfylde Moore Carew, who was "King of the Gipsies," though not a gipsy. He was Hibernia Hibernior, and deserved his elevation.
