NEI , / EDITIONS. — The " Border Edition of the Waverley Novels," edited
by Andrew Lang (John C. Nimmo), is now, we suppose, in process of reprinting. Mr. Lang's preface bears date " September, 1892," and the title-page of the volume now before us, Waverley ; or, 'Tis Sixty Years Since, has 1898 upon it. At least one other edition of the novels has been coming out during the same time, so that there are still readers, and, we imagine, very numerous readers, for classical fiction.—Other new editions are :—The New- comes. By W. M. Thackeray. With Illustrations by Chris Ham- mond. (Service and Paton.)—Thc House of the Seven Gables. By Nathaniel Hawthorne. With an Introduction by Moncure D. Conway. (Same publishers).—The introduction gives some in- teresting details of the processes by which Hawthorn's literary creations came into being.
