The Works of William Shakespeare. By W. G. Clark, M.A.,
and W. A. Wright, M.A. Vol II. (Macmillan and Co.)—One of the editors of the "Cambridge Shakespeare," Mr. Glover, has already been obliged to- abandon his task, but his place is well supplied by Mr. Wright, the Librarian of Trinity College. This volume contains five more plays, and is marked by the same accuracy as its predecessor, for even they whose minute criticism finds fault with spelling and the position of the apostrophe which marks contraction must admit that the editors sin according to rule. One instance of literary kindness deserves mention. In their first volume the editors expressed regret that there was no index to Mr. Sidney Walker's criticisms. Since its publication they have received a manuscript indis.x mom of Berlin, who, planning a similar edition, had made one for himself. We shoe.,. have grudged this work to Germany, but really Dr. Leo deserves ret to have been. forestalled.
