Translations from Poushkin. By Charles Edward Turner. (Sampson Low, Marston,

and Co. 8s. 6d.)—These translations do not, it must be said. possess any very distinct literary charm of their own. Yet they will be welcome. The author has done his best to give the reader an idea of the original. The thought is there, though the form has of necessity lost much of its charm.
