BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES The Casa Editorial Calleja is showing an activity, various aspects of which will be of considerable interest to teachers of Spanish. In the first place, it is publishing three series of Cuentos en colores. The volume entitled Calleja: Cuentos en colores: El Visir y la Mosca; Lillekort; Los dos Ladrones is a beautifully illustrated quarto of sixty-three pages. The second and third series are small volumes, approximately duodecimo in size, but also attractively illustrated. Of the second series we have seen only No. 3, a children's story, Pelusilla, by May Byron. Of the third series five volumes have already appeared. In addition to the well-known works, Uncle Tom's Cabin and Gulliver's Travels, which are given in abbreviated form, there are selections from the Fables of Lafontaine, and from the Fairy Tales of Perrault and of Madame D'Aulnoy, in the last two cases presenting to us in Spanish dress such old favorites as Princess Golden Locks, Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and Hop o' My Thunb. The language of these translations is more difficult than we should ordinarily approve of for young children. Nevertheless, because of their familiarity with the content of the stories, we believe that the children would enjoy them heartily. Whether one care to use them in class or not, they should form admirable material for outside reading. All these books will be found in the bibliographical list published in this number. In its Biblioteca Calleja, Segunda Serie, the same house publishes, or intends to publish, each month, three volumes representing three distinct types. In one group there will be anthologies. Each volume will contain selections from a single author. If the author be still living, he himself will make the selections, and will supply the volume with an autobiographical and autocritical prologue, and with comments concerning the work to which each selection belongs. If the author in a given case be dead, this biographical and critical material will be supplied by a leading living critic, who will also make the selections. These volumes will sell, bound in cloth, for 2.50 pesetas. In another group the volumes will contain an entire work of some living author, published in cloth at 1.50 pesetas. The third group will consist of volumes devoted to the classics. These editions will be serious but not erudite. The text will be given entire, in accord with the latest studies, the orthography will be modern, and there will be explanatory notes and a prologue by some well-known scholar. Here again the price of the volumes. bound in cloth, will be 1.50 pesetas. The same house publishes two dictionaries that will be of interest to our teachers. The Diccionario Castellano de Bolsillo, copyrighted in 1918. is a compact little volume, printed with clear type on paper that is opaque and yet so thin that its 1806 pages do not make the volume unmanageable. The Nuevo Diccionario manual, ilustrado, de la Lengua Castellana is a kind of dictionary and encyclopedia that will be found useful even by those who possess the Pequeño Larousse ilustrado, (by Miguel de Toro y Gilsbert. which latter should, of course, be in the hands of all of our teachers. Naturally all progressive teachers hope some day to possess the Academy's Dictionary. The expense will in many cases be a drawback, or an insurmountable obstacle. Meanwhile such teachers may possess their souls with patience if they are able to obtain the Diccionario de la Lengua Española, published by the house of Sopena in Barcelona. The scholar in charge of this fine book is the well-known classicist José Alemany y Bolufer. a member of the Royal Spanish Academy and professor of Greek at the University of Madrid. The volume contains all the words included in the fourteenth (the latest) edition of the Academy's Dictionary, and some 40.000 more that are sanctioned by good usage, although not yet accepted by the Academy. Among these 40,000 are 25,000 Americanisms and many technical terms. In view of our growing appreciation of things Hispano-American, these latter items are a very welcome and helpful addition. Many a teacher will be grateful to find in the appendix a complete set of paradigms of the Spanish verbs, regular and irregular, with an alphabetical list of verbs in current use, accompanied by a reference to the type of verb they follow in their conjugation. The volume contains 1760 pages (7 x 934) and costs. bound in full cloth, only ten pesetas. to All of our teachers will be glad to avail themselves of the opportunity secure copies of masterpieces of Spanish literature well-edited, wellprinted, and neatly bound at a moderate price. These advantages are all to be found in the attractive volumes of the Clásicos de la literatura española, published by Ruiz Hermanos of Madrid. The volumes are sold at 1.50 pesetas. They are cloth-bound duodecimos, the kind of volume best loved by the real book-lover, because, to paraphrase one of our great writers, they can be carried in the pocket or conveniently held in the hand and read while one stands with his back to the open fire-place. The volumes that have come to our attention are: La Historia de los dos enamorados Flores y Blancaflor (to which is added, by way of appendix, the chapter from the Gran Conquista de Ultramar that contains the list of the descendants of the two lovers); Lazarillo de Tormes; Juan Ruiz de Alarcón y Mendoza, No hay mal que por bien no venga; Antonio García Gutiérrez, El Trovador (with an appendix giving five hitherto inedited letters of the author to the celebrated composer Emilio Arrieta, uncle of the editor of this volume); Fray Luis de León, La Perfecta Casada; Tirso de Molina, La Villana de Vallecas; Lope de Vega, Peribáñez y el Comendador de Ocaña; and José Zorrilla, Sancho García. Each volume is equipped with an introduction, notes, and a bibliographical note by the well-known scholar, the Excelentísimo Sr. D., Adolfo Bonilla y San Martin of the University of Madrid. JOHN D.
