Mr. J. do Morran's last publication before
leaving the direction OF tho Antiauities Depart-
mont in Egypt, was q map Of tho Memphis
metropolis, including Dashur. Sakkarah and
Abou.Sir. On this map arc recorded not only
his own excavations, but all tho work done by
his predecessors from the time Of Mariette until
the spring of 1897. All tho monuments Of tho
various periods are Indicated by different colors,
which makes at ono glance every epoch dis
tinct Since Icpsius work Of this kind has boon
attempted. Strange as 1t may seem, Mariette.
Maspero and Grebault made no record of their
excavations, on map or plan. and Mr.. do Nor
gan was compelled In many cases. to go over
tho same ground in order to obtain accurate
corroboration of the informations communicated
to him by the various Arabic digger forcmen
who had directed work there previously. Under
such conditions the present work is q monu-
mont of patience 1t will be of great service to
the savants who will visit Egypt. and especially
to those who will be In charge of the future ex-
cavations.

The volume. Tho Poetical Works of Eliza
beth Barrett Browning" published by tho Mac
milan Company. containing as 1t does all the
poets works with tho single exception Of tho
earlier of her two translations of Eschylus's
Prouetheus Bound, is tho first complete edition
yet issued. "The motive" says Mr. Kenyon, tho
editor, "for the suppression of her earlier poems
was the perfectly natural desire of q writer
whose position was not yet fixcd. to be known
only by her best work. Now. however. that her
place among English poets has long been as
sured, the republication of her earlier works
can do her fame no harm, while they have
literary and biographical value which amply
justifies their appearance" Tho volume con-
tains a portrait, engraved from the picture by
Field Talfourd painted in Rome in March, l $50.
