We heartily commend to our readers, on occasion of the

appear- ance of its annual volume, The Journal of Education, the seventh of the New Series (86 Fleet Street). It is a publication that has done and continues to do, excellent service to education and to literature. Its articles are written with much force and vivacity ; and its criticism, though sometimes, perhaps, a little prejudiced, is, for the most part, tasteful and sound. If only for the admirable series of prize translations which it gives month after month, it deserves a liberal encouragement.
