A New Pocket Dictionary of the English and Russian Languages.
By J. H. Freese, ALA. (Began Paul, Trench, and Co. 5s. net.)—This cheap, well-printed, and compendious Russian-English dictionary— soon to be completed, we trust, in a second English-Russian volume— will be welcomed by the many new students of Russian, most of whom have had to choose between large and rather expensive dictionaries and a recent American production which is not easily obtained. Mr. Freese gives the accents and the pronunciation and useful notes on the grammar ; he saves space by omitting many foreign words and deriva- tives that the learner should be able to interpret for himself. The type is remarkably clear, as the student will note with gratitude, especially if he has tried to read a Russian newspaper.—The Pictorial Russian Course, by S. J. Luboff (Leopold B. Hill, 2s. net), may be warmly commended to beginners, who by working through the thirty lessons will easily learn a great many common words with a modicum of grammar. In another edition Mr. Luboff might add an Army picture with the military terms that are just now so abundant in the Russian Press.
