Helps

REALMAH. By Arthur Helps. Two Vols. Crown 8vo. 16s.

Of this work, by the Author of "Friends in Council," the Saturday Review says: "Underneath the form (that of dialogue) is so much shrewdness, fancy, and above all, so much wise kindliness, that we should think all the better of a man or woman who likes the book."

Herschel

THE ILIAD OF HOMER. Translated into English Hexameters. By Sir John Herschel, Bart. 8vo. 18s.

A version of the Iliad in English Hexameters. The question of Homeric translation is fully discussed in the Preface.

"It is admirable, not only for many intrinsic merits, but as a great man's tribute to Genius."—Illustrated London News.

HIATUS: the Void in Modern Education. Its Cause and Antidote. By Outis. 8vo. 8s. 6d.

The main object of this Essay is to point out how the emotional element which underlies the Fine Arts is disregarded and undeveloped at this time so far as (despite a pretence at filling it up) to constitute an Educational Hiatus.
