All that is worth keeping in Pope's rules is keptbut how unlike Pope!

""Tis Nature methodiz'd, but Nature still."

Without conventional scenery, or alien names, or unreal shepherd gear; and better still, without any but native fancy. But with some of the old beauty, because it has the old inexhaustible form, the longdescended gift of the Greek imagination.

Bernard Mandeville's Fable of the Bees

[ocr errors]

With Commentary, Historical, Critical, and Explanatory, by F. B. KAYE. It is over a century since the last reprint of this book, and to-day we are not only able to view Mandeville's argument in its historical perspective, but are driven to admit that the arguments which so outraged his generation have taken their place in the currency of modern thought.' A change from the day when the 'Fable' was ordered, in France, to be burnt by the common hangman! This book received especial praise in the Times review of the Bibliographical Society's Exhibition. Limited edition of 750 copies. In two vols.
