Raw Eurricavs.—Rural England. By Washington Irving. Illustrated by Allan Wright
and Vernon Stokes. (G. Routledge and Bons. 3s. ed. net.)—The illustrations consist of six coloured plates and ten drawings in the text. These are successful efforts to reproduce the Cruikshank manner, the second being, we think, preferable to the first. The volume is one of the "Photogravure and Colour Series."—We have received the first two volumes of another "Popular Edition of the Works of Charles Dickens" (Chapman and Hall, is. and 2s, net per voL) The two are A 'Pale of Two Cities and Barnaby Budge. The edition is to be completed in twenty-two volumes. It is well printed, and distinctly cheap at the money, the paper being as good as one could expect, though the type does show through a little where six hundred and thirty- two pages have to he compressed into the appointed space. The shorter book with its three hundred and seventy-five pages is more agreeable to the eye—A History of Suffolk. By the Rev. J. J. Raven, D.D. (Elliot Stock. Is. 6d. net.)
