We have received from Messrs. Frowde "Thumb Editions" of The

Christian Year and the De Imitatione Christi. Each has two forms of binding, "German Calf" and " Mogador Levant." The admirable Oxford paper permits the quite legible printing of these two books in a space that seems quite impossibly small. The German calf bound Be Imitatione is the largest of the four, but even this might be conveniently carried in a waistcoat-pocket.
