NEW EDITIONS. — The Life of Lord Lovat. Edited by

Hugh Keith Fraser. (A. L. Humphreys.)—This volume is "privately printed" ; as, however, it has been sent to the Spectator for notice, wo may venture to remark that we expected to find some sort of an account of the book. When was it first published ? What has been done to it in the way of editing ? It is, we should say, an autobiography, an apology by Simon Lord Lovat for his life. He does not bear a good character in history ; but if ho is to be believed, he had hard measure dealt to him.—Another new edition is The Ancient Stone Crosses of Dartmoor and its Borderland, by William Crossing (J. G. Commit', Exeter, 7s. 6d.)
