Clarke Expedition" Dodd, Mead d Coz,
edited by DR.. Reuben Gold Thwates, pro-
crosses rapidly, In Volume ", now be-
fore us, the explorers have turned back

vi. and VIZ, Mr. z. V. Lucas's edition Of
The Works Of Charles and Mary Lamb
(Methuen 4 Co; @, p, Putnam's Sons) h
completed. The letters are provided with
the same enthusiastically lavish super
abundance Of notes that marked the other
volumes, but here the commentary is at

gated to the end Of the volume, Mr., Lucas

thing like a complete Lamb epistolary

useful task Of giving the date Of every
known letter Of Lambs and telling In what
book Il may be found, whenever he is un-

From the German Consul General comes
the Official Catalogue Of the Exhibition Of
the German Empire at the International
Exposition, ST. Louis, 1904 (Georg Stilke,
Berlin, in English. To the catalogue
proper are prefKed $50 pages Of valuable
information by experts about Germanys
manifold activities at the start Of the
tWentieth century. The care taken in pre-
pairing the typography and every me
ohanioal detail OF the catalogue is manifest
and a curious medleval effect is attained
A book Of this kind would requi.s, how
ever, as we imagine, 5lesFpess, distinct
ness and ease Of reference above ell things,
and the black modified type sslected throws
everything else into the shade. The red
ink used seems also a mistake, for black
kills red.
