I as being out of proportion or inadequate . The : ? * according second book to the is , * of writer course contains , biograp several hical , inao and ,
, curacies , which < is a serious charge to bring against such a work . The third work on the list is recommended as a -useful compendium
of ecclesiastical information , and rhay be consulted with advantage on several important matters . There is also a powerful review on
Creighton ' s ' history of the Papacy during the Period of the Reformation , ' and an attractive one on * Francis of Assisi and the Renaissance ;'
but perhaps t | iat which will interest the reader more than any one of the other nine reviews is that on Robert Elsmere' not only on account of
the celebrity which this , book has attained , not only because it hasbeen attacked and championed by such doughty - warriors , but because ,
of the vividness of the attack on it by the present reviewer . He wields a powerful sword , and smites hip and thigh around him . His
summary is , * We regard Robert Elsmere as a most dangerous book . ' From Mr . Eliot Stock . — ' Literary Curiosities
and Kotes , ' edited by A . B . Gr . from the contents of the new volume of Mr . Gomme ' s Gentleman ' s Magazine Librarywhichit is almost needless
to remind our readers , , , comprises a classified collection of the chief contents of that famous repositoTy from 1731 to 1868 . On former
occasions we have warmly approved the idea of making these treasures more accessible to the public . The new volume is of the highest and
most curious interest to book-lovers , it is a compendium of out-of-the-way lore , the perusal of which is an intellectual treat of no mean
importance . Collectors , indeed all who are actively engaged in the gathering or disseminating of books , will find it full of information
which cannot fail to be of practical service to them . In the division relating to book-making and book-selling the reader finds much that is
curious , including articles on book sales , and a list of publishers of book-catalogues with
marked prices in London and the country
* • * • From W. H, Allen & Oo.—' History...
during the last twenty or thirty years of * the I eighteenth century . With regard to book sales I
-.- the following is stated : * TVithinside the lid of I a ; copy of Burton ' s " Anatomy of MelaiMjholy , " which has lately gone through my [ the 'Writer
of the note ] hands ^ is written as follows : * ' The ^ . gift of dear Mr . -Hoadly , who bought it , afc he informed meat the first sale of books that
, library ever occurred of Dr . L in . Seam London an . ' , ' and The which division ' was which the treats of libraries . and book clubs is of equal
interest , the descriptions of old libraries being in many cases unique . The concluding chapter is devoted to Bibles , Prayer Books , * and
devotional exists we books would . warn While all such comp a ilers volume "who as ' crib this from the old volumes of the Gentleman ' s
Magazine w ^ ithout acknowledgment ; their work may now be easily traced . From the same— ' A Freshwater Yarn ' is a
. sprightly sketch of an ' exploring ' .. expedition on the river Avon , the authors and artists being
Brown , Jones , and Robinson , who during their novel journey seem to have had really a ' good time' of it . The record of their adventures- I
is well told , and the illustrations are admirable . [ From « Tit-Bits ' Office . —While more than a
thousand people are looking out for one way , the proprietor of Tit-Bits has published a book showing ' A Thousand Ways to Earn a Living . '
We can speak favourably of the little volume , which has an instructive and reasonable tone . From Messrs . Whittaker & Co . —The ¦ French
—^ r — — ^^^^— i - ^^ v m—^ Hr W ^ V ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^ ^ " ^^^»^ i ^^ —^^ ^^» ^^» ^^^^^ ^¦ ' ^^^^ ^^^ T ^^^ " ^^ " ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^ ^ p ™ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^ point of view as noted in * John Bull ' s Army / by Hector France , late Capt . 4 th Chasseurs , contains many hints which ought to tingle the
ears of our military chiefs . We believe not in blatant political nonsense about defence and defiancebut have firm faith in the familiar
Roman , maxim which speaks of readiness . British officers and civilian , politicians are too prone to exercise their . oratorical powers in
telling the world of our military and naval weakness . They should read the criticism as to discipline which Capt . France has supplied .
His views of English social life are sadly exaggerated , but upon the whole the book is a sound one , and deserved to pass into the second
edition which is now before us .
