Songs and Verses: Social and Scientific. By an

Old Contributor to 'Maga.' Fourth Edition, with Music of some of the Songs. Cloth extra, 4s.

"The productions thrown off by this eccentric muse have all the merits of originality and variety.

MRS OLIPHANT.

Memoir of the Count de Montalembert. A Chap

ter of Recent French History. In 2 vols. crown 8vo, £1, 4s.

"It is to Mrs Oliphant that we owe the very beautiful English translation of the Monks of the West.' The author has written to her :-'What I must insist upon is the exact reproduction of all the passages in my book, which, to you, must seem the most offensive to English and Protestant ears' (p. 336.) And when it was completed, he bore witness to the good faith and straightforward equity of a most literal translation' (p. 337). We are happy to be able to say that Mrs Oliphant has shown equal 'good faith and straightforward equity' in translating the character of Count de Montalembert so as to make him known and appreciated by English readers. Would that

all biographies were written in such good taste and in such a generous spirit!"-Tablet.

"The history of the Royal Society of Archers, albeit a somewhat massive tome, will be a welcome addition to the toxophilite's library, inasmuch as it sketches in detail the life of the oldest and, at the same time, one of the most vigorous of existing archery societies. We cannot refrain from giving Mr Paul our unqualified praise for the very able and perfect manner in which he has fulfilled his undertaking, bearing as it does upon the face of it unmistakable evidence of literary ability and acumen."-Field.
