how the various Numerical Cabalas have been curiously Applied to the Holy Scriptures, with numerous Textual Examples ranging from Genesis to the Apocalypse, and Collected from Books of the greatest rarity, for the most part not in the British Museum or any Public Library in Great Britain.

The MARRIAGE of CUPID and PSYCHE.

Translated from

the Latin of Apuleius by CHARLES STUTTAFORD. With 4 Designs by Jessie Mothersole. Royal 8vo. Printed at the Ballantyne Press, in Red and Black, in a Limited Issue of 500 Copies, on the finest Arnold Hand-made Paper. Bound in vellum, 10s. 6d. net.

NOTES and QUERIES.- "Rarely has the charming story of Cupid and Psyche been set before the public in more attractive guise. The paper is a delight to contemplate or handle; the printing, including the rubricated title-page, is a credit to the Ballantyne Press; and the covering and other details of execution render the work a real objet de lure. Against the rendering nothing is to be urged, and the fine illustrations of Miss Mothersole are of the latest school of modernity.'

PALL MALL GAZETTE. -"And now we have had from Mr. Nutt, in an admirably printed octavo, a new translation of the old allegory. Mr. Stuttaford's version is faithful and beautiful, and, while not equalling the golden prose of the Tudor period, is not altogether unworthy to be named in the same category as the first renderer of Apuleius. Indeed, we wish that Mr. Stuttaford would go on from this to give us a complete version of the Golden Ass.' The effort of Thomas Taylor is ludicrous in its literal simplicity. We must not omit to say that this version is charmingly illustrated by Miss Jessie Mothersole.,"

SCOTSMAN.-" Reads fluently, and seldom reminds the reader that it is a translation. Beautifully printed and elegantly bound in white, it is an attractive volume, which should win new readers for this romantic chapter of the 'Golden Ass." " GLASGOW HERALD.—“ A graceful and fluent rendering."

On the LITERARY THEORIES of TAINE and HERBERT SPENCER. Two Lectures by A. T. W. BORSDORF, Ph.D., Professor at the University College of Wales, Aberystwith. Crown 8vo, iv-69 pp. 1s. net.

As preliminary to an attempt at constructing a Science of Literature, the author criticises the two most influential theories of literary æsthetics of the last fifty years.

The AENEID of VIRGIL, literally rendered into English Blank Verse. By T. H. DELABÈRE MAY, M. A., Trinity College, Cambridge. 2 vols, Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s. net; half vellum, 7s. 6d. net.

MORNING POST.-" Though at times one cannot admire the metrical qualities of Mr. May's version, or overlook the weakness of some of its lines, with its diction and disregard of the minor beauties of the original, yet it is only fair to say that no version of Virgil has yet been published which, taken as a whole, more faithfully represents the spirit and the substance of the greatest epic poem in the Latin language."

GUARDIAN.-"The present version is, on the whole, astonishingly accurate and close, even in the order of words and sentences, to the original...... Another example may be taken from Book V.-the extraordinarily difficult passage describing the manoeuvres of the Trojan youth (11. 580 foll.). Let the reader compare with the original the lines into which Mr. May renders them. Considering its necessary limitations, his work is worthy of great commendation."

CHURCH FAMILY NEWSPAPER.—“ It will give the English reader the sense and the substance of the greatest of Roman epics, and on the whole it is faithful to the letter and the spirit of the original. Many passages are rendered with vigour, some with very felicitou, fidelity, and occasionally we catch glimpses of the stateliness and of the sweetness of the great original...... With all its faults Mr. May's version will be found very useful and in most passages an excellent translation, and is in most respects the most faithful version yet published in English."

SCOTSMAN.-"May be read with pleasure for its own artistic qualities and with an undeserved profit by persons who, by way of studying Latin, read the classics in translations."
