We have received two more volumes of Professor Skeet's monumental

edition of The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer ,(Clarendon Press). One of these contains "The Translation of

B oethius' Consolation of Philosophy" and "Troilus," each with an introduction setting forth its literary history and notes ; in the other," The House of Fame," "The Legend of Good Women," the "Treatise on the Astrolabe," each similarly furnished, and " An Account of the Sources of the Canterbury Tales." This last is a curiously elaborate piece of work, as, for instance, where Professor Skeat fixes the date of the pilgrimage and divides the tales into groups.
