SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.

[Notice itt !kis column does not necessarily precluds subsequent review.] We offer the Field our hearty congratulations on the occasion of its seventieth birthday. The number in which it celebrates the event is beautifully got up, and contains a great variety of interesting matter, including admirable illustrations. The full- page colour leproduction of W. P. Frith's "Derby Day" is especially excellent. It would be difficult to imagine a more delightful two-shillings' worth. The number as a whole sur- passes the high standard which the Field has always led us to expect, and to say this is to say a great deal.
