and last portion of the library of -the late Frank. J . Hogan, of Washington, D.C., whose American literature and English books after 1700 have al ready been dis· perscd (and the salc of the latter com· mented on in these columns). Mr. Hogan's books {rom 1478-1700 wcre not numerous, but they include a number o{ very fine things. No sale catalogues have reached US as this is written; but copics of a mimeographed hand·list. prepared some years ago under Mr, Hogan 's diroc· tion, have been in circulation, and although recent scrutiny is believed to have cast doubts on the integrHy of at least two outstanding books-doubts which will presumably be reflected in the Parke· Bernet Galleries' cataloguing-the ' general oulline of the sale is clear. Its results will be reported her~ in due course.

Th.is por~ion of the Cunliffe library includes a high pro· portion of rarities-there are actually eighteen' editions believed unrecorded in S.T.C.-but not many boOks of great literary stature; and only a dozen or so titles are represented jn bOth sales, tbough these include first editions of Burton's .. Anatomy," Coryate's .. Crudities," Holinsbed's .. Chronicles" and three Spensers. It will be instructive to compare the prices realized in London with those. of New York , at a time when the gencrallevel is considcred to be hi~c r on this side of the Atlantic.

The variations that can be wrung from an indoor table game are obviously severely limited, and one racing game or the 1850's bears a strikin8 resemblance to an indoor entertainment which achieved popularity before the war. The difference betwcon yesterday and to-day, when the child is recognized as a person in his own right and not as to a miniature adult," is most in evidence in the books of instruction and the moral tales, and another system is reflected in the grammars addressed as much to the harassed mother as to the child whose early education she was expected to direct.
