Mr . Gommp . The volumes are handsomely got up , and their contents , it is needless to say , are of the most interesting character .
From Messrs . Swan Sonnenschein & Co *—We have pleasure in noticing the second part of 'The Common-sense Method of Teaching French / b
H . Pooley and K . Carnie . The compilers are y practical teachers , and they have succeeded in producing a very good class-book . The present
part completes the analysis of words and pronunciation according to the modes of the Ecoles Communales of Paris ; it also has reading lessons
poetry , and other useful exercises . , From Messrs . Marcus Ward & Co . —' Third
Standard Oriel Reader ' The third reader is a beautiful addition to a beautiful series of wellcompiled and practically edited school-books .
From Messrs . Ward & Downey . — ' An Apology for the Life of the Right Hon . W . E . Gladstone ; orthe New Politics / This is another of those
, penalties attached to greatness—a clever , if merciless , account of the life of the ex-Premier , judged from a Conservative point of view , with a rather
scathing commentary on his sayings and doings from the year of his birth , compiled by the journalist who wrote * Letters to My Son
Herbert , ' and ' Letters to a Grand Old Man / To Conservatives this volume will be a perfect mine of information , and the fact of its appearance in
a ' second edition' proves that its utility has already been recognised by those who wish to possess in a handy form some of the so-called
inconsistencies in the political opinions and actions of its subj ect . From Messrs . WardLock & Co . — ' The New
, , Reform ^^^ m— - ^ K Act _ / A very handy ^ ^ book ^ k ^ ^ has been ^ m pub - lished , containing the Representation of the People Act ( 1884 ) the Redistribution of Seats
Act ( 1885 ) , and the , Elections ( Hours of Poll ) Act ( 1885 ) . To this information is added an introduction containing a complete description of
the various franchises , with notes and index , the whole being carefully compiled by W . A . Holdsworth , Barrister-at-Law . The book forms a capital
work of reference for argumentative or competitive politicians . From Messrs . W . B . Whittingham . —* Manual
of International Law , ' for the use of Navies , Colonies , and Consulates , by Jan Helenus Ferguson ( 2 vols . ) . The author of this work is the
Minister of the Netherlands in China , and for-Navy merly and was Colonial attached Service to the . Netherlands His official Royal
positions , therefore , in connection with a great maritime and colonising country , have given Mr . Ferguson opportunities of no ordinary scope for the
