he drowth of English. By Henry Cecil Wyld. (John Murray.

3s. 6d.)—" This book," writes Professor Wyld in his preface, "is obviously a book for beginners." It is orderly in its arrangement, and develops the subject in an instructive manner. The beginner who " tackle§ " it diligently and intelligently will certainly go a long way. It would not be a bad plan, we take it, for a student to begin with the last chapter, not because he will be able fully to appreciate it, but because it will give him a helpful idea of the end to which his studies will bring him.
