_"Mr. Dilke has written a book which is probably as well worth reading as any book of the same aims and character that ever was written. Its merits are that it is written in a lively and agreeable style, that it implies a great deal of physical pluck, that no page of it fails to show an acute and highly intelligent observer, that it stimulates the imagination as well as the judgment of the reader, and that it is on perhaps the most interesting subject that can attract an Englishman who cares about his country."_--_SATURDAY REVIEW_. EARLY EGYPTIAN HISTORY FOR THE YOUNG. _See_ "_Juvenile Section_." Forbes ------ LIFE OF PROFESSOR EDWARD FORBES, F.R.S. By _George Wilson_, M.D., F.R.S.E., and _Archibald Geikie_, F.R.S. 8vo. with Portrait, 14_s_. _"From the first page to the last the book claims careful reading, as being a full but not overcrowded rehearsal of a most instructive life, and the true picture of a mind that was rare in strength and beauty."_--_EXAMINER_. Freeman ------- HISTORY OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, from the Foundation of the Achaian League to the Disruption of the United States. By _Edward A. Freeman_, M.A. Vol. I. General Introduction. History of the Greek Federations. 8vo. 21_s_. _"The task Mr. Freeman has undertaken is one of great magnitude and importance. It is also a task of an almost entirely novel character. No other work professing to give the history of a political principle occurs to us, except the slight contributions to the history of representative government that is contained in a course of M. Guizof's lectures.... The history of the development of a principle is at least as important as the history of a dynasty, or of a race."_--_Saturday Review_. French (George Russell) ----------------------- SHAKSPEAREANA GENEALOGICA. 8vo. cloth extra, 15_s_. Uniform with the "Cambridge Shakespeare." _Part I.--Identification of the_ dramatis personæ _in the historical plays, from King John to King Henry VIII.; Notes on Characters in Macbeth and Hamlet; Persons and Places belonging to Warwickshire alluded to. Part II.--The Shakspeare and Arden families and their connexions, with Tables of descent. The present is the first attempt to give a detailed description, in consecutive order, of each of the_ dramatis personæ _in Shakspeare's immortal chronicle-histories, and some of the characters have been, it is believed, herein identified for the first time. A clue is furnished which, followed up with ordinary diligence, may enable any one, with a taste for the pursuit, to trace a distinguished Shakspearean worthy to his lineal representative in the present day._ Gladstone (Right.
