We are glad to receive the first two volumes of

yet another edition of the " Waverley Novels " (A. and C. Black, 2s. net per vol.) The two are Waver/ey and Guy Manitering. The issue is known as the " Now Pocket Edition " (it is bound in flexible cloth, and is of moderate compass and weight). The twenty-five volumes are to be completed in November next. And there are peop!e who tell us that Scott is not read nowa- days.
