ScHooL-Boozes.-The State of England in 1685, by H. Clement Notcutt,
B.A. (Blackie and Son, 2s.), is an annotated edition of the "Third Chapter of Macaulay's History." Macaulay collected his materials with unsparing industry, and the opportunities for annotation are correspondingly numerous.-From the same publishers we have in " Blackie's Little French Classics" Legouve's Jacques L'Aveugle and P. Merimee's L'Enldvement de la Redoute, Edited by W. 0. Brigstocke ; Resits de Guerre, by Paul Bourget, same Editor; La Dernidre Classe, 4'c., by Alphonse Daudet, Edited by H. W. Preston ; and Oriental Scenes, by Gerard de Nerval, Edited by H. H. Horton. Here we have a number of well-chosen pieces, with help that seems, as far as we have had an opportunity of judging, judiciously given. Some kind of gradua- tion in respect of difficulty would be useful. Merimee's French is, for instance, very easy to understand.-Stories from Natural History. By Richard Wagner.. Translated by G S (Macmillan and Co. 1s. 6d.)-The Elements of Trigonometry. By S. L. Loney. (Cambridge University Press. 3s. 6&)
