Nutes Etymologies. By Richard Stephen Charnocke, Ph.D. (Triibner and Co.)—This

is a book giving in alphabetical order a list of between one and two thousand words, with their deriva- tions. It is amusing as well as valuable, and has evidently been carefully prepared by a generally competent person. It is a distinct blemish that the Greek words are given without accents, and even without aspirates. About the latter there can surely be no difference of opinion.
