ty of Cambridge. With portraits, fac-similes, etc. 4 vols., crown 8vo, cloth, gilt top, $6.00; half calf, $12.00. "Every lover of English literature will welcome the works of Gray, the author of the immortal 'Elegy written in a Country Churchyard,' from the hands of an editor so accomplished as Mr. Gosse. His competency for the task has been known for some time to students of poetry, and the present edition is now considered to be the most careful and complete ever published."--_London Athenaeum_. GUNNING (William D.).--Life History of Our Planet. Illustrated with 80 illustrations by Mary Gunning. Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt extra, $1.50.

We are given several interesting pages--with illustrations--on the mammoth creatures of pre-historic times, whose mummified bones alone remain to tell their story. It should be read by every one who desires to know more about the world we live in. HARDY (Lady Duffus). Through Cities and Prairie Lands.

That he has fully accomplished his purpose is demonstrated by the fact that it is now looked upon as the most standard and authentic history of Freemasonry in existence.
