net's fiction. He has attained his wide popularity without appealing to prurient curiosity, or to that 'nostalgie de la boue,' which sells thousands of copies of many a work of fiction, merely for the unmitigated grossness which the buyers count on finding in it."— Westminster review, Nov. Perlbach, M. Die Statuten des deutschen Ordens, nach den ältesten Handschriften. 1890.

"M. Perlbach s'est imposé la tâche de faire la colla tion de tous les manuscrits conservés de nos jours. Il en a découvert trente-trois, qui contiennent les anciens statuts, tels qu'ils étaient appliqués antérieurement à 1442, date de la revision faite par le grand maître Conrad d'Erlichshausen. L'édition de M. Perlbach est parfaite; elle forme un excellent pendant à la règle du Temple que M. Henri de Curzon a donnée naguère à la Société de l'Histoire de France. Mais les conclusions de l'auteur sur la date des statuts ne sont pas certaines; il y est arrivé en s'appuyant sur de fragiles arguments." -Revue critique, 15 déc. 1890.

"Aristotle looks at the theatre rather from the point of view of modern experience. Mr. Prickard has well brought this out in the elegant and scholarly work before us... The narrowness of the vision, and the limited character of Aristotle's conception in poetry as in politics, is astounding. Just as in politics he cannot conceive of a state which is too large to hear the voice of a single town-crier, so in poetry, his views are bounded by the horizon of the plays acted at Athens."

"The book of the jubilee of Messrs. Thomas Cook & Bon.

From this small beginning the further development of this firm is traced step by step through the last fifty years, and is, as might be expected sugges tive enough.' Sat. rev., July 18.

Richardson, B: W. T: Sopwith; with excerpts from his diary of fifty-seven years.

"Although not known to fame outside of a limited circle, Thomas Sopworth was, in some ways a remark. able man. He was a musician, an architect, a distinguished engineer, connected with important mines and with some of the early railroads; and in the course of a long and active life he was brought in contact with the Stephensons, with Faraday, and with a great many other famous people. Judging from the specimens here given, his impressions are often interesting, but his reflections are of the trite and commonplace charac. ter peculiar to people who habitually overestimate the originality of their ideas.". - Nation, Nov. 12.
