trayed. Queen, as true to womanhood as Queenhood, Glorying in the glories of her people, Sorrowing with the sorrows of the lowest! . . . . . . . . . . Henry's fifty years are all in shadow, Gray with distance Edward's fifty summers, Ev'n her Grandsire's fifty half forgotten. TENNYSON. WHITE, J.S. (Editor). The Boys' and Girls' Plutarch. Putnam. 1.75 Plutarch wrote a hundred books and was never dull. Most of these have been lost, but the portions which remain have found, with the exception of Holy Writ, more readers through eighteen centuries than the works of any other writer of ancient times.--_Introduction._ If any substitute for a full translation is desired, this abridgment will serve.

These sixteen chapters on the famous scientists from Galileo to Darwin and Huxley will fascinate intelligent children. ZIMMERN, ALICE. Greek History for Young Readers. Longmans. 1.00 A simple, scholarly history; the English excellent. There are maps (p. 177) and many uncommonly good illustrations.
