Navy EniTroxs.—In the "Warwick Edition of George Eliot's Works" (W.
Blackwood and Sons) Adam Bede (the first volume of the series) (2s. net). It runs to eight hundred and twenty-six pages, which have been compressed into a volume of easily por- table size and weight. The paper is not quite as opaque as some that we have seen, for the type of the verso can be discerned through it. Practically, however, the reader's convenience is not interfered with.—ln the "Little Library" (Methuen and Co.) Lavengro, by George Borrow, 2 .vols. (3s. net). Mr. F. Hindes Groome prefixes an introduction, in which he describes amateur gypsies, or "Romany Ryes "—i.e., men who have affected the gypsies, not being of their race—before Borrow's time. He gives also an estimate of Borrow which does not err on the side of hero- worship, making him out to be something of a poseur, if not an impostor, while doing justice to his great literary powers. Foot- notes are also supplied from time to time.
