The Works of George Eliot. Cabinet Edition, 19 vols. (Blackwood.)

—A very handy edition of George Eliot's novels and poems, very cheap, extremely well printed, and bound in cloth, in a style which reflects great credit upon the publishers' taste. We have rarely of late years seen a design upon the binding of a cheap series so entirely in sound taste. Like praise is due to Marcus Ward and Co. for the equally well printed and strongly bound edition of Scott's works now being issued by them, the text of which is identical with the original edition, and contains all the author's notes. The two latest volumes are The Talisman and The Fair Maid of Perth.
