Where Shall I Educate My Son ? A manual for parents of moderate 

 means. By Chakles Eyee Pascoe. London : Hoiilston and Sons. 

 1884. 



Here is another indispensable book. It is an answer to a question 

 that the author and many other persons have frequently asked ; and 

 it is answered in the following chapters : — 1. ' The greater oppor- 

 tunities of the greater public schools.' 2. ' The lesser opportunities 

 in the other public schools.' 3. 'Yearly expenses in the average 

 middle-class schools.' 4. Tree education and maintenance.' 

 5. ' Special aid in special cases.' 6. ' Alphabetical list of 

 endowed grammar, country and proprietary schools whose fees (for 

 tuition alone) do not exceed £20 per annum.' There is an appendix 

 of examination papers set for election to Winchester College, and 

 Harrow and Eugby schools, and it will be thus seen from the preceding 

 enumeration of contents that the little volume is a most useful and 

 essential hand-book and a guide which thousands of parents are con- 

 stantly needing to the means of providing for the educational 

 necessities of their families. 



Lays of Ancient Rome, ivith Ivry and the Armada. By Lord 

 Macaulay. London : Longmans, Green, and Co. 1884. 



The new edition of this English classic sent us by Messrs. Longmans 

 contains explanatory notes, and is issued at the price of one shilling. 

 It is capitally printed and neatly bound, and should be bought largely 

 by parents to give to their children. In the whole English language 

 there scarcely exists a finer composition than ' Horatius.' Every boy 

 ought to learn it by hert, and the effect of this cheap re-issue of the 

 stirring poetry of one of the greatest of England's sons ought to lead 

 to its wide dissemination in every class and grade of society.

SelVs Dictionary of the World's Press. London : Henry SeU, Fleet 

 Street, 1884. 



This is a remarkable shilling's worth, and a most valuable and useful 

 book. It is a thick volume, well and strongly bound, and contains no 

 less than four coloured maps. Information is elaborately afforded con- 

 cerning all newspapers and magazines published in the British Islands. 

 There is also a list of all the principal foreign newspapers, and, in 

 addition, there are most useful chapters on advertising ; how, when, 

 and where to advertise ; on the law concerning newspaper libels, 

 &c., &c. It is certainly the cheapest and best shilling's worth we 

 have seen for a very long time.
