NEW EDITIONS, ETC —We have received of new editiona, Half-Hon is
with Some English Antiquities, by Llewellynn Jewitt, F.S.A. (l)avid Bogue) ; Edna : a Tale of the Babylonish Captivity, by Juliau St. Clare (Charing Cross Publishing Company) ; Waste Not, Want Not, by Mrs. Sherwood (Religious Tract Society) ; also, The Double Wit- ness of the Church, by the Right Rev. William Ingraham Ross, D.D., Bishop of California (W. W. Gardner) ; Lore is of God, and other Sermons, by the Right Rev. W. B. Stevens, D.D., Bishop of Penn- sylvania (W. W. Gardner), two volumes which are not materially different from, and certainly not superior to, the sermons commonly preached on this side of the Atlantic. The former of the two is the more controversial.—A second edition, which is described as "revised and enlarged," of the Forum Romanurn et Magnum, by John Henry Parker, C.B. (James Parker and John Murray.) We reviewed this book at length some time ago, and need only commend it again to our readers as the standard authority on its subject.—We have also received a new and uniform edition, in nine volumes, of "The Gentle Life" Series. There are The Gentle Life (2 vols.), Half-Length Por- traits, Essays on English Writers, The Silent Hour, About in the World, Essays by Montaigne, and A Man's Thoughts. For neatness of appearance, the edition is worthy of all praise, and the books themselves have had a success which makes it unnece3sary to criticise them.—We have to acknowledge the second volume of House and Home, a Journal for All Classes (Office, 395 Strand) ; and the first of Life and Work, a Parish Magazine, published under the supervision of a Committee of the General Assembly of the Church of Scot- land.
