    From Mr. J. W. Arrowsmitlt, Bristol.—Mr.

    ment of the voice ef another guest , an Italian irl . Her name is ' Emilia Aless ? mdra Belloni .

    g Thus it came that the book was first called ' Emilia in England / Now it has the name by

    which the heroine herself was known among her own people . Emilia has a disastrous love affair with mw — the — son of the house , j in consequence % , of

    which she loses her "voice for a while . Mr . Pericles is beside himself with vexation . The girL finds an asylum in her grief with a

    loftyher minded minded seri friend fitten ous view di * . Miss Miss of the Powys Pdwva situati , . whose whose on . letters letters They are reveal reveal in the most diverting contrast with some epistles of

    Mr . Tracy Runningbrook , who looks at the matter from an artistic point of view , and tells the faithless lover that he has immensely

    improved the girl . In * Vittoria , ' the next novel , we meet our friends , the characters in * Sandra BelToni' in ^ Northern Italy on the eve of an

    outbreak against , Austrian rule . From Mr . William Hutk- ^ -We have fairly

    revelled , if such a word be permissible , in Mr . Richard Watson Gilder ' s volume of * Lyrics and other Poems . ' When so much inferior poetic

    matter is placed "before the public with all the confidence and display that should accompany high — -class — workit is refreshing to come across a

    volume g ^ so genuinel - ~ , y thoug htful ; p and — accomplished as that of the editor of the Century . Mr . Grilder may be said , comparatively speaking , to belong

    to the younger school of poets in the States , though many of the pieces included in this collection were published before 1875 but his position

    is already well recognised . , In the dainty volume before us we would draw special attention to the verses entitled 'After Many Days '

    , which give testimony to the poet ' s powers . From Messrs . Macmillan & Co . —* Sermons and

    Addresses delivered in America / by Frederic W . Farrar , D . D ., F . E . S . The fact of this interesting volume—the latest collection of Dean Farrar ' s

    discourses—being printed from American plates probably accounts for the two close pages of errata which have had to be introduced . Alludi _ _

    ing to the publication here , the reverend Dean says : ' This volume would not have been published — _ — in — Eng — g—T land — ~ but _ for _ — the _ strong _ ^ j probability jf t /

    that it would have been reproduced without permission if the copyright had not been retained . It is p rinted from - _ _ the - ^ American ___ plates A , and owing ^ j

    to unavoidable accidents the Sermon on the "Ideals of Nations" and the " Temperance Address / appear without any revisionand

    consequently in an imperfect form , of which , I hope no unfair advantage will be taken / Dean Farrar s eloquent addresses are always welcome in a

    readable form , and despite typographical inaccuracies the present volume is no exception to the rule . From MessrsPaulTrenchSo

    Professor Thorold Rogers' Six Centuries of Work and Wages : a History of English Labour / The author is evidently not of the belief that there
