From Messrs . H " . G-revel & Co . —After ihe appearance pi the popular work by Mr . Rockstro , the ponderous and scholarly volumes by Mr .
Rowbotham , and the . splendid dictionary edited by Dr . Groves , we did not think that there was room for Mr . James E . Matthews' new book , 'A Popular History of Music' Historians of

attended the publication of * Letters from Dorothy Osborne to Sir William Temple , 1652-4 , ' eJited by E . A . Parry . The letters are most
delightful reading . Sir William Temple had to wait a long time before he won his vivacious bride , but the period of courtship was enlivened by fc' the receipt of a series of love missives *
such as rarely pass between those who live in the expectancy of matrimonial bliss . Macaulay declared that letters such as these are worth more than all the extracts from State
papers that ever were made . The epoch during which they were indited was great in historic events ftvftntfi . but hut thpi the writer writer did did not not allow allow hersel herselt f to to
. Wander , far into the somewhat masculine field of politics , in which Sir William played so prominent a partSociety circles of the period
. are vividly described by Miss Dorothy , who proved herself possessed of an expert and witty pen m ^ r \ J A . Here Jfc ^ fc , x ^ JL . ¦»¦*» Jllh is ^> * a W Mf sketch > W > ^^ «^^ rf ^^ of ^ - ^ « N society " ^^ ^ - » ^^ ^ - ^ *^_ F ^ life * " ^^ in wib *•— . Crom Tfc ^ — -v ^— «^
