Abstract
ACCORDING to Dr. George Saintsbury, “A review … is a thing addressed to the general body of educated people, telling them whether it is or is not worth their while to make further acquaintance with such-and-such a document purporting to bear their address.” Each of the three books included in the present notice has its own merits, but each is addressed to a special class of reader.
