While on the subject of education, we may acknowledge the receipt of several educational works, which we can only notice with great brevity.
M. Merlet's Dictionary of French Difficulties (which, but that the subject is almost too grave for such a jest, we should have suggested might very appropriately have been dedicated to the President) bears on its title the stamp of its merit in the words "third edition."
M. Falch Lebahn's Self Instructor in German; Practice in German; and German in One Volume (4th ed.), are very able attempts to facilitate the study of that most useful language.
The last work, containing as it does La Motte Fouque's beautiful tale of Undine, with explanatory notes on all the difficult words and phrases, and its vocabulary of 4500 words synonymous in German and English, cannot be found otherwise than most useful.
