Flosculi Cheltonienses. Edited by Charles S. Jerram, M.A., and Theodore

W. James, M.A. (Rivingtons.)—This is a volume of selections from the Cheltenham Prize Poems, Greek and Latin, of the last five-and-twenty years. The editors tell us that they have done nothing more than choose what seemed to them the best pieces, and alter some two or three obvious faults. These verses, therefore, do not call for the criticism which would be bestowed on the efforts of more mature scholars. We shall have done our duty when we have said that they display, the elegiacs, as might be expected, especially, a high

average of excellence, worthy of the great classical school from which they proceed.
