NEW EDITIONS.—The Church Missionary Atlas. (Seeley and Co.)— This atlas,
appearing in a new and enlarged edition, is in two parts, containing respectively "Africa and the Mohammedan Lands of the East" and "India." The plan is to give both general and local maps, in which the stations of the Society are marked ; whiles variety of in. formation, bearing generally on the subject, is supplied by the letter. prese.—Sorrates a Translation of the Apology, Crib, and Parts of the Phiedo (T. Fisher Casein), gives the personal details which Plato sapplies about his master. This is a " sixth " edition. The idea is farther carried out in A Day at Athens with Socrates (third edition) (same publisher), where we have translations from the Profagoraa and the Republic; while Talks with Socrates about Life (same publisher), consisting of translations from the Gorgias and the Republic, supple.. meats it with some of the more easily given features of the Souratio or Platonic philosophy. This last is a new book, and may be described as a fitting companion to the two first. mentioned. The books are intelligently adapted for general reading, and, it may be added, are of a convenient shape and pleasing appearance—Of reprints, we have King Lear, edited by Wilhelm Victor (Whittaker), the work of a Marburg Professor, giving parallel texts of the "first quarto" and the "first folio," with collations from later quartos and folios.— Another contribution to our literature from a German source is Lelg's Euphues, the Anatomy of Wit. with the First Chapter of Sidney's Arcadia, edited, with Introduction and Notes, by Dr. Friedrich Land- mann. (Henninger, Heilbronn.)—Albert Smith's Adventures of Mr. Ledbury and The Marchioness of Brinviniers. Illustrated by John Leech. (Bentley and Son.)—Two handsome editions, but almost too large to hold comfortably while reading.
