The Journal of Education is always welcome, so intelligently con-

ducted is it, and so sound are its judgments on educational matters. The short notes with which its first pages are occupied are always an admirable résumé of the educational subjects of the month. If there were nothing else in the number, it would be worth having for the two excellent pieces of translation which it contains. For ourselves, we differ from the judge, and feel inclined to place E. D. A. N." before "J. IL," but both are very good.. The piece translated is " Pompey's Dream," from the " Pharsalia."
