New Enrrions.—Sir Roger de Coverley, and other Essays from the
" Spectator." (J. M. Dent and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Arthur Symons supplies a preface in which he justifies his selection, which contains sixty-six essays. We have no criticism to make, except that we think better of "The Vision of Mims," than he does. Mr. H. M. Brock-'s illustrations are as delightful as usual. —Poems by Alfred Tennyson. Illustrated by Eleanor M. Brick- dale. (G. Bell and Sons. 7s. 6d.)—The poems, it will be under- stood, are those, or a selection of those, that are out of copyright. —Historical Tales from Shakespeare. By A. T. Quiller-Couch (" Q "). Illustrated. (E. Arnold. 6s.)—The plays selected for this purpose are Coriolanus, Julius Caesar, King John, Richard IL, Henry IV., V., VI., Richard III.—.R. W. Church and H. P. "ridden are two biographies reprinted from Canon Donaldson's "Five Great Oxford Leaders" (Rivingtons, 2s. 6d. net each).— Rome and Pompeii. By Gaston Boissier. Translated by D. Havelock Fisher. (T. Fisher Unwin. 2s. &I. net.)—Veritably a cheap edition, seeing that we get four hundred and thirty-five closely printed pages, and of excellent quality too, at a very low price.—There is no end of the supply, and, it may be presumed, of the demand, for English classics. So from the Library Press we have The Beauties of Laurence Sterne (1s.), and The Beauties of Shakespeare (Zs.), the difference in price being caused by the binding in cloth and leather.
