Literature.—‘‘ Will be a welcome relief from the 
selections from classical writers. All the pieces 
are from contemporary literature, and touch on 
the Boer War, Exhibition, Cycling, etc. One of 
them is Sarah Bernhardt’s letter to the Dazly 
‘Lelegraph on ‘ Hamlet.’ This 1s a good idea; it 
brings actuality into the class-room, and teaches — 
the student what he is most likely to want—the _ 
French manner and idiom of the moment.” 
Scotsman.—‘‘ From Messrs. Allman & Son comes an 
unusually interesting compilation of ‘ Excerpts 
from French Authors,’ the work of Mr. Henri 
Blouet. Its distinctive merit is that its passages 
are chosen from strictly contemporary literature. 
They include, for instance, the letter written to a 
London newspaper by Madame Sarah Bernhardt 
on‘ Hamlet,’ and a French version of the official 
despatch from Ladysmith describing the battle of 
Hlandslaagte. You can scarcely be more nearly 
up to date than that, unless you read the French 
newspapers, which, indeed, this well-designed 
volume will help anyone to do.”
