    I * come back to the world of reality , they are tying 3 j y on drowning the river by a bank woodcutter , having . been Mr . Noel rescued ' s fanciful from

    | story is a sort of aquatic dream , interesting enough ; ' . to yoimg folk . From the same . —Mr . James Koss , author of ' Seymour ' s Inheritance' & chas issued a neatly

    , printed brochure , entitled ' The Wild Enthusiast , and other Poems . ' From the same . — ' More than a Dream' by' Darrich — —/

    ¦ ^^^^ ^^^ There ^^^ ^ M ^»^^ ^ k ^ ^—^^ - ^^ is ^^ r ^ much »^»^~ - ^^ ^ ~ that — — - — is —*¦ — improbabl — e , m in — _ m this little story , and much that is clever . There is also an over-sufficiency of realistic love-making . But the

    foundation on which the plot rests is hardly strong enough , nor is the latter as coherent as it might be . A young man disappearsand several

    , people are tried , after a somewhat informal-fashion , for his murder . Eventually his body is discovered up — a — chimneyand the mysteryso far as he is

    concerned ^ , is disclosed ' , , while v a rather ' , lame explanation is given for the existence of another body , which is found buried , minus the head . The "

    title of the story arises from , the fact that the hero has an extraordinary dream , which very materially affects the course of the narrative .

    From the Cambridge University Press . —The Bev . H . C . G . MouleM . A . has edited 'The ¦ , , ,

    Epistle to the Ephesians , ' supplying an introduction and notes to the volumej which is now added to the series of books entitled The Cambridge

    Bible for Schools and Colleges . ' Under the general editorship of Dr . Perowne , Dean ., of Peterboroughthis series of books has made satisfactory

    , progress . Its existence cannot be too widely known . The various books are the most serviceable we know of for Bible students and for

    general home study . From Messrs . Cameron & Ferguson .

    —Cheapness seems to be one of the chief features of publishing fiction , and certainly in that direction few who cater to the public taste will be able to

    outstrip the enterprising Glasgow house , Messrs . Cameron & Ferguson . In the ' Monster Shilling Volume ' we find a large-print edition of Charles

    Lever ' s masterpiece ' Charles O'Malley , the Irish Dragoon . ' At the same price other two series are published : one entitled ' Society Novels ' of

    , which * Infelice , ' by Augusta E . Wilson , is a taking example . The sixpenny series gives wonderful bargains , both in quality and quantity .

    From Messrs . Castell Brothers . — Scripture Text-Boolvs are at present being issued in considerable purchasers numbers . All will are be m charmed ore or with less attractive the newest , but of

    these books , just published by Messrs . Castell . * Heavenward ' is the title , the designers and com-I pilers being Alice Price and F . Corbyn Price . A

    well-known writers , such as Mi . ss Proctor , Archbishop tasteful Trench and finel , y and printed others in . colours The . designs are

    From Messrs . Field & Tuer . —Mr . Fred . C . Milford fears , through the criticisms of his

    - friends , that the leading incident in his story , * 55 Guineas Reward / viz . the conviction of a

    , murderer ^* throu * Y gh an instrument fa a combining « fla the _ properti J . Jb ^ es of the p honograp »— ' X . h and the microp hone - ——j

    will be deemed somewhat improbable . He tells us , therefore , that such a combination , he understands on good authoritywould be perfectly

    , practicable . Upon this point we prefer to say nothing , but it certainly appears to us very unlikely that a man would walk into 1 * 1 the room

    ofhis dearest friend in his sleep , stamd over his bed , allow a razor to be placed in his hand by the assassin of the said friendand then awake to

    all the horror of believing , himself a murderer , However , in these days of sensational literature considerable latitude must be allowed , and , this

    improbability , as we conceive it , apart , Mr , Milfor &' s story is well worthy of perusal , and should lind much acceptance with readers . The

    book is further distinguished by a novel binding . From Messrs . Griiiitli , Farran , Okeden , & . "Welsh .. —' The High School Needlework and
