NEW EDITIONS AND REPRINTS.—In the " Mermaid Series," edited by
Havelock Ellis (Vizetelly and Co.), we have Thomas Heywood. Edited by A. Wilson Verity. With an Introduction by J. A. Addington Symons.—The volume contains five plays : A Woman Killed with Kindness, The Fair Maid of the West, The English Traveller, The Wise Woman of Hogsden, The Rape of Lucrece. We take the opportunity of asking again, why do gentle- men of respectable character favour with their names the odious practice of putting " unexpurgated edition " on the title-page ? Surely they must know that the words have not a literary meaning.—South,ey's Life of Wesley. Edited by the Rev. J. A. Atkinson. (F. Warne and Co.)—The Poetical Works of George Crabbe (Selected), with Prefatory Notice, Biographical and Critical, by Edward Lamplough, is one of the " Canter- bury Poets," under the general editorship of Mr. William Sharp. (Walter Scott.)—We have received the second volume of Cassell's Illustrated History of England (Cassell and Co.) ; also the second volume of the " Cabinet Edition " of Kaye and Malleson's History of the Indian Mutiny. Edited by Colonel Malleson. (W. H. Allen and Co.)—This volume is from the pen of Sir John Kaye. The editor, as before, leaves the text intact, but appends notes, explana- tory or corrective. He has also prefixed a short description of places mentioned in the narrative, and gives a plan of Delhi, much to the assistance of those who would understand the story of the siege. —The Invasion of the Crimea. By A. W. Kinglake. " Cabinet Edition." Vols. VIII. and IX. (W. Blackwood and Sons.)—These complete the edition.—Roots : a Plea for Tolerance. (Bentley and Son.) —In the reissue of Miss Charlotte M.
