THE CASSELL PUBLISHING CO. have just ready "Australian Poets, 1788-1888," being a selection of poems upon all subjects written in Australia and New Zealand during the first century of the British colonization, with brief notes on their authors and an introduction by Patchett Martin, edited by Douglas B. W. Sladen, of Melbourne, Australia; "Jack Gordon, Knight Errant, Gotham, 1883," by W. C. Hudson, author of "The Diamond Button" and "Whose Was It?" who has again written an intricate detective story; and 64 Star-Land," by Sir Robert S. Ball, based on notes and recollections of the lectures delivered to children at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1881 and 1887, which makes a readable book on astronomy for young people. They announce a new story by Judge Tourgee entitled Pactolus Prime." The author deals with a new phase of the race problem, and incidentally strikes right and left at the pet follies of the time, and with the skill of the trained satirist touches a good many people's self-complacency, who perhaps have little thought of being hit.

De bello gallico; commenta- Clark, Kate Elizabeth. The dominant seventh : The hero is an Italian and a great violinist. He makes the acquaintance of the McChesney family-wealthy, cultured people, passionately fond of music-through the accidental illness of the first violin, who is to take part in a quartet that is expected to be the gem of a concert the McChesneys are giving for charitable purposes. Signor Ferranti and Flora McChesney play together, the Italian being brought to a sudden and tragical ending. There is exercising a weird power over the young girl-their duet a love-story in which the Italian's true story is brought out; there are also many discussions of music, and an appreciation and knowledge of the best music shown by the author.
