    what asked Murray her lord and and I master said the if world he had shall got never the tickets know . . But From Messrs . Macmillan & Co . —* Goethe ' s Faust /

    translated by J . S . Blackie . Second edition . How many Englishmen—we beg pardon , how many inhabitants of the island called Great

    Britain—would be able to preface a translation . of Goethe ' s Faust with an address to the immortal German which should be fit to keep his

    famous Meisterstilck company ? Professor Blackie has shown his mastery over the language by this feat .. The introduction consists of a discourse on

    metre , the legends of Faust , Marlow , & c . The print is of a solidity and clearness which are very agreeable to a reader . A vignette of the

    celebrated chess-players adorns the title , which subject also furnishes characteristic medallions for the cover .

    From John Murray . — 'Duty : with Illustrations of Courage , Patience , and Endurance , ' by Samuel

    Smiles , LL . D . The distinguishing feature of Mr . Smiles ' s authorship is that he gives us good books ¦¦ ~—~ ^ **^ ap-wi *^ , full v ^ rv flk ^ of ^^ * a » the ^ f ^^ ^ a * wisest v v mk ¦«¦* ^* p » a * ^ m * lessons v > ^^ ¦•* " »* bf *^ *¦>*¦ w of * % a * ¦ experience ^^ ^ "ai b *^ v bbi •¦ - ^ ^*^ ^ bf ^ a . - m

    For more than twenty years his ' Self-Help' has been exerting a most beneficial influence upon the minds of those who have to make their way in

    the world . Then followed ' Character , ' then 'Thrift , ' and now we have 'Duty , ' which is ¦¦ announced ¦ ¦ v ^^ pv f ¦ . ^^ j as JV fir the V V las h mr t book v ^ r H of v the v Bv ^ v v series v v t . v Mr v > . v ' *^ ^^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^^* ^ " ^^— ^ ^^ r ^^ *^ ^ ' ^* ^ ^^ ^ ' ^^ *^ ^ . ^^ ^^ " ^^^^

    Smiles ' s plan in each of these books is to draw , from that vast range of biographical literature with which he is so thoroughly and usefully

    acquainted , the most entertaining anecdotes and bits of information , weaving these together under their respective general subjects with pleasant

    twining of his own thought , and introducing each chapter with a readable -essay of advice in forcible style . The great lesson which Mr .

    Smiles inculcates in ' Duty' is that it demands courage , but it also teaches us to be kind and good . He does this with a combination of

    simplicity and earnestness that commands the warmest admiration . From Meaara . O . Kegan Paul & Oo . — 'The New

    Werther / We think that many of those to whom Goethe ' s Werther is interesting as an expression

    of the Sturm und Drang of its time , will be temp for the ted kinshi into reading p impli ed by New the Werther name . / We if onl pu t k SS ^~! T . ' . '¦ ' " ¦ u . . ' '"' "' . " - _

    the matter thus because the ' Sorrows of t ^ erther has become so much an English classic of the

    old-fashioned sort that many a reader has doubtless enjoyed the book as a story of hapless love , without concerning himself about the author ' s

    name work , in Wh his ether extraordinary the new Jerusalem infatuation of , the will 'present please the readers of the old favourite may be doubted

    but those who look for the deeper meaning will , not feel unrewarded by the perusal of the * New Werther . '
