New EDIT1ON3. — The Odyssey of Homer, done into English Prose by
S. H. Butcher, M.A., and A. Lang, M.A. (Macmillan), a "new and cheaper edition" of a translation which has taken an unques- tioned place aa a standard.—The Geology of England and Wales. By Horace B. Woodward. (George Philip and Son.)—An Egyptian Princess. By Georg Ebers. Translated by Emma S. Buchheirn. (Bell and Sons.)—We call this a new edition, but it is in another sense a new book. Dr. Ebera'e romance has already appeared in this country in an edition published by Mr. W. S. Gottsberger in New York, and Messrs. Triibner here, the translations having been executed, if we remember right, by Miss Clara Bell. The volume now before us comes from another hand, and one, we need not say, perfectly well qualified for the task. Readers who are not already acquainted with this really striking romance (it is of Egypt in the days of Cambyses) cannot do better than take this opportunity of reading it.—Struggtes for Life. By William Knighton, LLD. (Williams and Norgate.)—Obiter Dicta. " A tenth edition." (Elliot Stock.)
