E . a We good atherl place y . and 'A others Land , of are Flowers special / favourites by Ernest . The usual cards sent from this artistic house are remarkable for their softness in colour and general effectiveness and originality of design . Campbell Text cards 4 Tudbop suitable e , for of Glasgow Christmas , whose and publications New Year are sho the w specialities experience offered and taste by in Messrs design .- - \ and manufacture . Prang's American cards seem still to hold their own amidst a vast amount of competition . In the selection which Mr . Ackermann , of Regent Street , has sent us , we notice a marked which superiori are ty p over ictured other with cards marvellous in the fidelity drawing and and beauty colouring . If all of publishers flowers , especiall paid the y roses same , attention to art details which is shown by Prang , Christmas cards would soon become objects of art to be carefully _framed and kept . We trust that Mr . Ackermann will long have a collection to show that is so worthy of honest admiration and praise . Mr . T . Stevens , of Coventry , sends some novelties in pure silk woven-work which has secured for his name a unique reputation . We have before us delicately woven portraits of the late Lord Beaconsfield , of Mr . Gladstone , and the latost fancy lion of London society'Buffalo Bill . ' The portrait of M ! r . Gladstone is the best ; that of ' Buffalo Bill' the most picturesque . Does it not show something of subtle irony to give the late Premier the emblem of the rose , thistle , and shamrock 'I ' - _. ' _)¦ Messrs . Eyre .. «& Spottiswoode have a very pretty collection of cards , mostly in the best style of art lithography . The colo _lired floral autograph cards are _^ novelty that should be mentioned especially . Baskets of flowers and crosses with cherubs' heads are designs which to us are entirely new . The landscapes shown on some of the cards are unusually bright and true to nature . Not a few of Messrs . Eyre & Spottiswoode _' s productions in this department are very humorous , the children ' s cards especially . ; The numerous body who desire to have Scripture texts incorporated in the complimentary wishes of the season should ask for the publication of Mr . S . Saufmann , _Vhich are abundant and thoroughly good . Not only do we find text cards for the wall , but also text cards for books and text cards for posting to friends . The special packets of cards which Mr . Kaufmann publishes are both cheap and varied ; they are brightly illuminated , have appropriate names , and are altogether much above the average . This publisher seems to have a very wonderful assortm ¦ ent of Scripture-text , birthday , and Christian-greeting cards , i . _ The best ' line' in _MLeasram Raphael Tuck & Sons' publications which have come under notice are the porcelain pictures . As a rule the majority of the firm's publications do not this year call for special comment , but their name is a good guarantee , and nothing that is absolutely inartistic could be expected to come from their establishment . To celebrate the Jubilee a richly-coloured group of the ' Royal Circle at Windsor' is published by Messrs . Tuck , whose general collection of cards may be spoken of as being more than equal to many other publications of a kindred nature .

    The Question Of The Da V.—Is Shak-Bpeare...

    The Question of the Da v . —Is Shak-Bpeare to become the traditional Homer of _England ? One would think so from the serious doubts which have been expressed regarding the authorship of the immortal plays . Some amusement must be caused by the present newspaper controversy about Mr . Donnelly ' s discovery . But , after ail , what can be said until we know the bearings and the facts of Mr . Donnelly ' s researches ? It is impossible to judge pros and cons until we

    have before us the key to the mysterious cipher which has occupied Mr . Donnelly's attention for so many years .. We look forward with interest to the appearance of the book . The Revised Version of -the Bible and Testament . —It is some time since the correspondence appeared in the newspapers respecting cheap editions of the Revised Version of the Holy Bible and of the New Testament . These were urgently called for , . but the call was not responded to until recently , when the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge deter-, mined to issue editions that in price would compare with the Authorised Version . The ; New TestamentRevised Versioncan now be ; had at sixpence , and the Holy Bible , at one and sixpence . A ruby 16 mo . Bible sent us by . Messrs . C . J . Clay & Sons is a very legible and compact volume . Editions of the Revised Version _cftn be had either at the Oxford or-Cambridge warehouse , being the joint pro- , perty of the _Universities . , ' .
