    acceptable addition to , a Sunday School library . From Messrs . S . W . Partridge & Co . — ' James

    Calvert ; or , From Dark to Dawn in Fiji , ' by K . Vernon . A well-written account of missionary enterprise in Fiji . Mr . Calvert had almost

    , as many strange adventures as Robinson Crusoe himself , and Mrs . Vernon ' s narrative is quite as entertaining as most novels . The

    book is nicely illustrated . From Messrs . Perceval & Co . — ' Three Addresses

    to Girls at School , ' by Rev . J . M . Wilson . Two of these addresses by the head of Clifton College { J , are on education , the third being £ jon

    religion . They were originally printed for private circulation , but at the request of friends they have at length been brought out for the

    benefit of the public . They are sensible and ought to do good . From Mr . William Beeves . —* Home Rule for

    Scotland , ' by J . Morrison Davidson . Mr . Davidson , being a loyal and patriotic Scot , thinks that Scotland receives considerablv less than

    her share of the public money , and his present work is an earnest plea for a larger measure of justice ^ i -- - _ . He _— - is - as -- strong — — ^_ y in statistics - _ - _ — _ — as — he _ is

    fervent in patriotism , and makes out a good case . Jn briefly but clearly and forcibly describing the more important phases of

    Scottish history he traces the lives of Sir William of Raltoun Wallace and Thomas , George Spence Buchanan 4 the , Fletcher ther of

    , , Land Resumption . ' ' Home Rule for Scotland ' should appeal powerfully to the folks ayont the Tweed .

    From Messrs . Simpkin , Marshall , Hamilton , Kent & Co ., Limited . —* Dr . Rollison ' s Dilemma' and ' The Traitor Doubt' by L . E .

    Tiddeman . Two short stories of the , sensational order which may be confidently recommended to those who like their mental fare strongly

    seasoned . Gambling , muider , and other exciting topics are introduced , and treated with a good deal of ability .

    From of N Messrs ational . B Smith iograp , hy Elder , ' edited & Co by . L — eslie 'Dic Step tionary hen and Sidney Lee , vol . XXIV . The present volume of the ' Dictionary of National

    Biography ' extends from Hailes to Harriott and is well up to the high standard of excellence that has hitherto marked this now indispensable

    publication . Mr . Leslie Stephen contributes an article on Hal lam in which full justice is done to the good natureconscientiousness 7 and

    prodigious learni U ng of , the historian of , the middle ages . Without the sympathetic imagination , ' says Mr . Stephen justly , ' which

    if ofien misleading is essential to the highest historical excellence' ( as proved in Carlyle for example ) * he commands respect by his — honesty -----

    accuracy X . / , and masculine common JL sense % / in regard + / , to all topics within bis range . ' A great deal of shrewd criticism is compressed in this

    compendious estimate . Mr . Stephen also wiiteson Sir William Hamilton , the metaphysician , and in dealing < ' with his big and complex AT — subject j

    he showed his usual grasp and lucidity . Mr . C . H . Firth gives a capital portrait of John Hampden , the Puritan statesmanthough we are still

    without definite information , as kj to the cause of Hampden ' s death . One of the most satisfactory articles in the volume is that on Stephen Hales

    the physiologist , by Mr . Francis Darwin . A , jb

    Bond has the feelings , y and R . the jancy of a . poet Mr . , nay at times we should be disposed to say he has even the imagination of a poetas for iostance

    in parts of the introductory piece , in which tbe high gods of song are made to deliver their . several messages . Some of the shorter pieces

    fj A are rather conventional in theme and treatment , but throughout the book there is evidence of poetic sensibilit } r and an ear for the inner j

    harmonies of things . The little book is a dainty example of the art of the printer and bookbinder . j
