New EDITIONS. - The Water Babies, by Charles Kingsley (Macmillan
and Co., 15s. net), appears in a handsome edition, with large print, spacious margins, and a general appearance of
magnificence which suite the book admirably. And there is the attraction of thirty-two full-page illustrations in colour from the pencil of Mr. Walter Goble. These are not of the common elegant sort, but have a well-marked originality which makes them remarkably imitable to a text which is certainly anything but
common.—All the following are published by Messrs. Mackie and. Son :—One of the Fighting Scouts, by Captain F. S. Brereton (a story of the South African War) ; Under Drake's Flag, and Orange and Green (a tale of Boyne and Limerick), by G. A.
