The work will be handsomely illustrated, containing portraits of many distinguished actors and actresses on the American stage.

The views held on many of these subjects have been greatly altered by newly discovered inscriptions, by additions to museums and by the labors of recent scholarship bestowed upon such collections. The work will be in two volumes, the first of which is nearly ready; the second will be issued early in the spring of 1891.

This book, forming a third volume of the well-known "Young folks' cyclopædia" series, is intended to be a compendium of all kinds of recreations, including indoor and outdoor games, athletic sports, simple chemical and mechanical amusements, and every similar thing that can interest a wide-awake boy or girl. Where standard rules are accessible, they have been given word for word, thus making the book valuable as a work of reference for adults in case of dispute. Other features are the introduction of a brief historical sketch at the end of each West-article, the description of some foreign varieties of many of the games, and the attempt at a thorough system of etymology and derivation of all technical terms, as in the preceding volumes of the series.

Especial attention has been given to our conventional simple home-dishes, while an earnest endeavor has been made to collect a series of dishes to please all palates, the gourmets included. A time-table is given for meats, one for poultry and game, and one for vegetables. There is also a table of comparative weights and measures which will be found useful in the kitchen. There is a chapter on "Relishes for breakfast," one on "Stray notes,' relating to various household subjects, and "Directions for the order of service of dinner." Bulwer-Lytton, Sir E: G: E.
