    of size and price between the two books is not sufficient to avoid the confusion mentioned .

    Consequently the Tribunal orders that the sale of the translated volume must cease . '

    The other claims of the NouveUe Revue were dismissed . This decision is considered in

    France as of great importance . It may be added that a private arrangement has since

    heen made between the parties to the suit , the result of which is that the title of the

    translation has been altered on the cover , and that the proprietors of the NouveUe Bevue have

    waived their right to stop the sale . We have received from Messrs . Frederik

    Miiller & Co ., of Amsterdam , an admirably classified catalogue of books on the history of

    the Low Countries . It contains very many works of great o interest to students of English o

    as well as Dutch history . Opening the catalogue by chance at page 3 , we find a complete

    The question of Latin or no Latin for middle-class schools is greatly agitating the

    minds of those who are interested in education , in France . M . Vessiot has just sent forth a >
