duction,
by E. A. Wallis Budge, M.A., Litt.D. 2 vols. (Philip Lee Warner. £2 net.)—The Papyrus of Ani, which was acquired by the British Museum in 1888, is the best of all the known papyri containing the Theban recension of the Book of the Dead. A facsimile of the papyrus was issued by the Trustees in 1890, and some time later Dr. Budge published an English translation of it, together with a description of the papyrus and a general introduction. Both of these works are now reissued together in the present magnificent volumes. The commentary has been thoroughly revised and largely rewritten for the purpose.—The Diary of Samuel Pepys, F.E.S. Edited by Henry B. Wheatley. 8 vols. (G. Bell and Sons. 5s. each.)—The most complete edition of Pepys that has been published is now added to Bohn's Standard Library. Those who have known it in its more expensive form will not need to be reminded that it contains a Life of Pepys, numerous notes, and a very full index.— The Letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Barrett,
1845-1846. 2 vols. (Smith, Elder and Co. In leather, 5s. net each. In cloth, 4s. net each.)—This cheaper issue of the Letters is excellently produced in every way, though we cannot help regretting that the title printed on the cover has been vulgarized to 'The Browning Love Letters."—Poons. By Robert Louis Stevenson. (Chatto and Winclus and Longmans, Green. 12s. 6d. net.)—The Florence type has been used for printing this beautiful edition of Stevenson's poems. The volume contains " Underwoods," "Ballads," "Songs of Travel," and "A Child's Garden of Verses."
The Perfect Wagnerite. By Bernard Shaw. (Constable and Co. 3s. 65. net.)-.--A new chapter, which has hitherto only been published in the German translation of the book, is added to this edition. It elaborates Mr. Shaw's theory as to the alleged difference in character between " Gotterdiimmerung " and the earlier portions of the "Ring."—Treatment by Hypnotism and Suggestion. By C. Lloyd Tuckey. (Bailliere, Tindall, and Cox. 10s. 6d. net.)—For the sixth edition of Dr. Lloyd Tuckey's well-known work a preface has been -written by Sir Francis Cruise. An interesting chapter has also been added by Dr. Constance Long, dealing with Professor Freud's method of psycho-analysis, which led to such lively discussions at this year's Medical Congress.—Cheaper editions have been issued of The Land that is Desolate : an Account of a Tour in Palestine, and Uganda for a Holiday, by Sir Frederick Treves, Bart.
