In the "University Tutorial Series" (W. B. Clive), a series

which we have often had occasion to commend for its practical utility, we have The Tutorial History of Engl•sh Literature, by A. 3. Wyatt, M.A. (2s. 6d.) This seems, as far as we have examined it, as likely to be. serviceable as the other volumes. The criti- cisms on Dryden, Pope, and Swift may be specially noticed. That on Johnson also is excellent. "He is weakest in details and in points requiring a fine susceptibility ; he is strongest in his mastery of general laws, in which he was much in advance of his age," is well said.
