competition , but , generally speaking , the producers have held their place with good results to themselves and with pleasure to the British public . We take
a special interest in their Shakspeare card , showing four views , ( 1 ) the house in which JShakspeare I was born , ( 2 ) Shakespeare and Ann Hathaway ,
( 3 ) Shakspeare leaving for London and ( 4 ) the Resting-place of Shakspeare . In every way this is a very admirable card with apt quotations from the poet ' s
works . Messrs . Wirtbs' printed satin cards are charmiDg , including the popular and lively * snowballing girls . ' The drawing and colouring are
singularly good here . Their frosted cards are very meritorious , especi illy the remarkably fine examples I of landscapes set upon a tinted background showing
blossomed sprays printed in geld , silver , and black . The wording of the wishes in this firm ' s productions
shows some pleasant variety from the usual torms .

Mismanagement of the London School Board ' by Mr . John Lobb . The author Fpeaks from the , authority of three years' experienceand his
, work v certainl . 4 ^ y discloses ^ « some extraordinary * m . m statements and statistics . Metropolitan readers should find it something more than interesting .
From Messrs . Field & Tuer . —• English Policy in the Far East' is the title given to a pamphlet
containing the Times special correspondence , by Archibald 4 Across Chryse R . Col ' & quhou c . These n , F . R letters . G . S ., attracted author of a
great deal of attention during the course of their appearance , and their publication in separate form is a well-chosen step .
From Mr . ' Jolm Hey wood . —'" Revision Reasons " : ( 1 ) the Pentateuch . ' This is a manual for general

Cathedral Cave ; or , the Gate of Heaven , ' by Lina Orman-Cooper . Most of the incidents wnich form this fcimpx . le little story % 7 are said to be
strictly true . The author has woven them very well together indeed , and her publishers have issued the book in a very neat form .
From Messrs . Hougliton , Mifflin , & Co ., Boston . —We have read Sarah Orne Jewett ' s
former novels with so much pleasure that we naturally looked forward to the perusal of her present volume' A ] NIarsh Island' with more
than our customary , amount of interest , . Nor were we disappointed . * A Marsh Island , ' we may at once say , is a charming little novel , fully
up to the standard of the authoress ' s previous works , and distinguished by the same facility of expression and delicacy of treatment for which
they were characteristic . It is a story abounding sketched in true d with escri that ption fine s of pe h rception 'fe , the of incidents certain p beiug hases
