RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The Tale of Archais—By a gentleman of the University of Cambridge—a romance in verse, covering 89 pages, and dedicated to the white maidens of England. The poetic merit is unequal, and the lyrics have something lacking. Zeus, too, is to great and important a god to have “slept daintily,” and why was Robert Browning’s evil example followed in writing Phoibos for Phoebus, and Bacchos for Bacchus? Especially as Cytherea, Cypris, and Charicles are allowed to remain in more familiar guise.—London. Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner, and Co.
