We have, received Vols. V. and 'VI. of Dyer's History

of Modern Europe, Revised and Continued to the End of the Nineteenth Century by Arthur Hassell, MA. (George Bell and Sons, Cs. net per vol.) Vol. V. contains the period 1789-1815; Vol. VI., quite rightly, does not attempt to give more than a sketch of the eighty-five years which it includes (it has two hundred and forty pages as compared with the five hundred and thirty-two assigned to the twenty-seven years of Vol. V.) Mr. Hassell has added a very useful bibliography. We have not had an opportunity of seeing how far the original has been changed. We would point out, however, that on p. 71 of Vol. VI. Espartero is described as belonging to the Moderados, while on p. 72 he is said to have been a Progresista.
