The Little Shakespeare. (D. Bryce and Co., Glasgow. 2s. 6d.,

oloth ; as. 6d., leather.)—This little book is certainly a marvel of paper and print. It contains the thirty-seven plays, the poems, nn index of phrases, a glossary, a Life with illustrations (of Shakespeare's house, portraits, &o.), and illustrations of the plays. The print is of course of the smallest, but it is quite legible, the paper being good. The dimensions of the volume are 4 in. x 21 in. x in., while the weight is just over three ounces. As a book to be read, not to be looked at as a curiosity, it is certainly a remarkable achievement.
