Classical Coincidences. By F. C. Gretton, B.D. (Elliot Stock.) —Mr.

Gretton, who describes himself as an old teacher, has put together a pleasant little book, the result of a wide and varied reading. Hannibal at Saguntum and Henry at Agincourt killing their prisoners ; Agamemnon reviling Calchas and Ahab wroth with Micaiah, are two of his earlier parallels. A teacher may with excellent result make this volume a subsidiary to his instruction.
