are noticeable in some cases, and some things are presented which will not be of much interest to the general reader. But we think few of the persons for whom it was especially designed will fail to find in it many things which they will be glad to know. We have sometimes doubted the expediency of publishing such extended accounts of a peculiar life, which can scarcely be understood by those who have not lived it. There are many, however, who will be glad to read the account because they have lived the life. The memories of College days will be pleasantly recalled, as they review the story of their old customs and occupations-and, if they are satisfied, it must be remembered that they constitute a community whose desires may well be considered. THE LOST DISPATCH* is a short, well told objective tale, somewhat melodramatic, but well fitted to while away an unoccupied hour, without detriment to the intellect or the heart. The translation seems very well executed. Certainly the English is idiomatic and unexceptionable. RECENT PUBLICATIONS. Students' Collection of Classic French Plays.-No I. Le Cid. A Tragedy by P.
