2 OCTOBER 1886, Page 24

We have received another volume of the Gentleman's Magazine Library,

edited by George Laurence Gomme (Elliot Stock). This volume is the second and concluding part of the subject " Archae- ology," containing, we may remind our readers, a classified collection of important contributions made to the magazine from 1731 to 1868. " Stones and Stone-Circles," " British," " Early Anglo-Saxon," and "Late Anglo-Saxon Antiquities," are the chief contents.—We may mention also the third volume of Book-Lore : a Magazine Devoted to Old-Time Literature (same publisher), full, we need hardly say, of carious and interesting information.—The sixth volume of the New Variorum Edition of Shakespeare, edited by Horace Howard Furness (J. B. Lippincott, Philadelphia, U.S.A.), contains Othello. Various readings, conjectures, and exegetical and illustrative notes, gathered from the numerous commentators who have handled the great original, together with the text of the "First Folio," make up this " variorum" edition. We wish it the success and favour which it so well deserves, observing with regret that the editor speaks with doubt of the appearance of a seventh volume.
