been compri dispos sed in ed one of . volume The work , but its hitherto success been has suggested to the author to compile a companion
work' which should give an account of the institutions which exist in the United Kingdom for the education of girls and women . The
author says : work When had * Ou then r Schools appeared V ^ and V * . whi Colleges ch xs * . * showed ' was the firs whole t issued ¦ of , the no

education space of girls , remains unoccupied . The result of filling this void is that Captain
Bisson ' s handbook to our educational institutions has grown to 2 vols . of about two thousand pages , small octavo .
From Mr . T . I \ TTirwin . — 'Le Livre , ' February . Mr . Unwin has now become the London
publisher of this valuable magazine . The first number which , he sends us is a particularly interesting one . Among the articles of the first part ,
those which will attract the most are : Le dernier amour de Jean-Jacques Roicsseaw , and Becentes etudes _ en _ Italie _ — _ - sur __ J — . Casanova _ — _ . , par _ Mola _ _ , and _ _ a
history ( entitled Etapes ) of the famous Revue des Deux Mondes . These belong to what is called * older bibliograp / hy ; ' the more recent is
represen ted b y li ox sts of * new publications , corresponde nce from abroad , a summary of the contents of French periodicals , and by various articles of literary
interest . We have also a half-length portrait of Henri Martin . And there is an eau-forte by Ganjeanof a bust of Casanova lately discovered
, in Germany . This latter alone is enough to make the current number of Le Zdvre precious to many a lover of books , for portraits of
Casanova do not abound .

rate it contrives to give its readers on this side ^/ the Atlantic very charming glimpses of the United States , while it also offers to our American
cousins many pleasant sketches of the old country . The first two articles in the new number exactly fulfil this endfor the first is an illustrated paper
, on St . Louis , with its handsome public buildings and picturesque scenery , while the second is an illustrated article on our own Yorkshire coast
with sketches of Whitby , Flamborough Headand , Scarborough . Mr . Black holds on his own , way with his charming conception of Shakespearean
life , and * then follows an article on 'The Early American Presidents / in which the portraits form a noteworthy and artistic feature . A leasant

illustrated with designs for panelling-, mural decoration by stencilling , Japanese wall papers , and kindred devices ; an interesting sketch of deaf
