We have to acknowledge the "fifty-first edition" of the New

Grammar of French Grammars, by Dr. V. de Fives, M.A. (Crosby Lockwood and Son.)—In the series of "Handbooks for Bible Classes," is Church and State : a Historical Handbook, by A. Taylor Ines. (T. and T. Clark.)—Hurst Echoes (Alabaster, Passmore, and Co.), is a reprint of articles from a school magazine which seems to have had, and to have deserved, a more than usually ex- tended existence. The articles cover the period 1868-90. The school is St. John's College, Hurstpierpoint.
