[Under this heading ere natio. rush Books of The yea as have 7101 bent reserved for renew in other forme.] Harrow in _Prose and Verse. Edited by G. T. Warner. (Hodder and Stoughton. 63s. net)—This beautiful and costly book aims at giving "a series of pictures of life in the School at different dates," and will be prized by all Old Harrovians who are lucky enough to acquire it. Amongst the con- tributors on whom Mr. Warner has drawn are Peel and Palmerston, Byron and Anthony Trollope, Dean Merivale, Bishop Wordsworth, and John Addington Symonds. Perhaps the moat delightful thing in the whole book is the series of letters, written under the auspices of the Society for establish- ing ft " Correspondance Scolaire Internationale," which passed between Mr. Thomas Bunker of Harrow and K. Jules Potache of the Draguignan Lysie. This Jew d'esprit was published in the Harrovian in 1897; it well deserves such further immor- tality as splendid type and large paper can give. The book
is richly illustrated with coloured portraits and some of Mr. Arthur Garratt's admirable sketches.
