In the series of the "Bibelots," edited by J. Potter
Briscoe (Gay and Bird, 2s. 6d net), we have Shakespeare's Sonnets, with an introduction, we suppose by the general editor. We venture to doubt his personal identifications. Probably the real meaning of the sonnets will remain ambiguous to the end of time.—" Bijou Biographies" is the title of a new series (Henry J. Drane and Co.), of which we have the first number in Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., by Arthur Wallace (6d.) This is an admirable subject for a teinegyric,—no one certainly could ask, Quis vitwperavit ? Mr. Wallace, however, is not indiscriminately landatory.—No. 2 of the same series is Lord Roberts of Candahar, by Ernest Russell (6d.)—We may mention with this the fourth edition of Field- Marshal Lord Roberts, by Horace C. Grosef(Andrew Melrose, is.) —In "The Little Library" (Methuen and Co.) we have The Vision of Dante Alighieri, translated by H. F. Cary, M.A., revised, with an Introduction, by Paget Toynbee.
