"Whoever would taste his (Chaucer's) delicious flavor must master his dialect. One of the most promising of recent attempts to induce readers to take this trouble is Mr. Saunder's Canterbury Tales.' Beyond the introduction of a uniform standard of spelling and the use of marks of accentuation, there appears to be no alterations of the text."-The Dial.

Prof. E. E. HALE, Jr. of Cornell, writes: "It is a great improvement over the original edition, which was in many ways the best book for a class beginning the study of Chaucer. The revised text is, of course, of the greatest value, and the corrections and additions by Prof. Skeat are, wherever I have compared the two editions, very much to the point."

School Edition of the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. Edited by the Rev. W. W. SKEAT, Litt.D. 16mo, 25 cents. "The editor has succeeded admirably in hitting the gold mean between brevity and comprehensiveness, and has supplied a want long felt by teachers for a cheap and scholarly introduction to Chaucer's language and poetry. This edition should now supersede all others in the schools, except where there is time for the fuller editions by the same editor."

"Professor Skeat has brought to bear upon the elucidation of the text all the great learning he has accumulated in the preparation of the various works with which his name is now so honorably connected. We have little hesitation in saying that there is no student of Chaucer living to whom this volume will not be an absolute necessity."

"Prof. Masson's general preface, most agreeably written, ushers in the first volume, which begins with the autobiography, and it promises the kind of editing which one could wish to see. Logical arrangements and exact chronology, careful references to the sources (as in the worked-over matter), with a completeness as to contents not heretofore attained, and an index to the whole edition,' leave nothing to be desired, while Prof. Masson's competence is not to be disputed. We commend it to all admirers of the 'Opium-Eater.'"-Evening Post. DOWDEN. The Modern Period of English Literature. By Professor DOWDEN. 12mo. Shortly.
