    under which Caidecott ' s drawings and other wx > rk were p roduced , a series ~ which - - ^ is striking ^ -j if y- onl - y

    in Hyde Park , and a political celebrity , hit off with astonishing felicity . It is impossible to say where Caldecott ' s pencil was most at

    homewhether among Germans in their beer-gardens or at their Kurorte ; whether in the hunting-field at homeor ^ in a ball-roomor on a cliff * that

    over-, , hangs the sea ; or whether in seizing the characteristics of the peasantry in various European countries ; > or whether in dep ^ icting ( - ^ the _ beauty __ _^ t and

    the oddities of animals and birds . Not the least effective among these 172 examples of Caldeeott ' s genius are the designs for bas-reliefs or

    entablatures on which animals are the prominent figures ; and there is a study of a pig elsewhere , which is perfect . It was a good idea to collect

    so many unpublished and earlier specimens of ; the work of a man whose mind and hand were eminently happy . The book is one for those who

    read as well as for those who value art ; for , while actually a table book for the drawingroom , it is not too large f to be convenientl - y */ held t

    in the hand . For a student of drawing nothing could be more appropriate as a present or prize . From the same . —The Rev . J . BownesM . A . of

    , , Trinity College , Cambridge , the author of several very touching hymns wfyich well deserved their popularity , has iesued a small volume of verses ,

    entitled ' A Story without Names ,, and other Poems . ' From Messrs . Mkemillan & Co . —The delicate

    humour , and pure diction of Mr . Henry James again comes prominently forward in ' The Princess Casamassiriia / There is general and

    exquisite beauty in Mr . James ' s word-painting , which readers of his novels have long appreciated . - The new story is eqiial to any that the ! author

    bas written , enriched by a quiet dignity in the situations which charms the reader . ' The Princess Casamassima' should be more than a

    season ' s favourite . , From Messrs . James Wisbet & Co . —Mr . William

    Marvin , an ex-judge of a United States district court i Authorshi , has p given of the to Four the Gospels public from a work a Lawyer on tho ' s

    Point of View . ' The volume now before us relates to external evidences . Mr . Marvin ' s studies possess much interest . . \

    From the same .- —A book of family prayers , issued by the Rev . J . R . Macduff , D . D ., thirty years ago , has had a circulation of fifty-five thousand . In

    response to a general request , the reverend author has brought out a new volume of * Morning Family Prayers for a Year / The prayers are founded

    on selected passages of Scripture from the Old and New Testaments . As an aid to family devotion — the work answers all its purposes . Dr .

    ~ , xi Macduif ' s name is sufficiently revered to make the productions of his heart and hand acceptable to the affections of many in all parts of the woTld .

    From Messrs . Geor * £ © Philip & Son . —We woujd have been pleased if Mr . J . Francon Williams , F — . R ^ . G — . S . had adopted ¦ his Society ' s code of

    -, Jt 1 spellings , or rather series of instructions */ for the spellings of native names in this now class-book . Until this is done by compilers of geographical
