We have received a new edition of Mr. W. H.

G. Kingston's version of the Swiss Family Robinson (G. Routledge and Sons). There are ninety-five illustrations, all good in their degree, the coloured being, we think, a special success. We do not know that we approve the omission of the " long sententious lectures found in the original." But certainly this is an excellent edition of an old favourite.
