ScRooL-Boons.—Euripides Medea. Edited by John Thompson, M.A., and T. N.
Mills, MA. (W. B. Clive. 3s. 6d.)—This is one a the "University Tutorial Series," and must be allowed the credit of belonging to a very useful set of text-books. The introduction is brief, and, as far as it goes, correct. There are objections, however, to great subjects—as, e.g., the dramatic quality of the work of Euripides—being disposed of in a few lines. Something might advantageously have been said about the versification of Euripides. The Medea is an early play, and exhibits the poet at his best, so far as the versification is con- cerned.—Le Moots, by Erckmann-Chatrian, edited by Arthur R. Ropes, M.A. (Cambridge University Press) ; and by the same author and editor, and from the same publishers, Waterloo.— Readings in Welsh History. By Ernest Rhys. (Longmans and Co. Is. Sd.)
