Mayor, Litt.D. (Macmillan and Co. 14s. net.)—The Dictionary of English History. By Sidney Low and F. S. Pulling. Revised. (Cassell and Co. 9s. net.)—Chapters from the History of Rugby School. By Lieut.-Col. Sydney Jelfe. (A. J. Lawrence, Rugby.)—" A revised and enlarged" edition containing many interesting anecdotes of Rugby places and men. We may notice especially a tribute to the excellences of Tait. Probably his name is somewhat dwarfed by that of his great predecessor ; but it is enough to say that the vacant place could not have been better filled. It is not, perhaps, a decisive test, but it may serve well enough, that when Arnold died there were three hundred and seventy-five boys in the school, and after five years of Tait's reign four hundred and ninety-one.
