“There 1s too much in these six numbers to review in a short note; but it will be quite clear that the Revista de Occidente is both catholic in its choice of subjects and international in its choice of writers. In each number, there are critical and other notes, as well as poems and articles not mentioned above.

May—June.—This double number is devoted almost entirely to the Danish novelist and poet, Jens Peter Jacobson, who was born on 7th April) 1847, and died on 3oth, April, 1885. There is a note by Giuseppe Gabetti on L’Arte di Facobsen, followed by long extracts from the two novels, Maria Grubbe and Niels Lyne. It is said that the influence exercised by Jacobsen not only on Scandinavian, but also on German poetry has been immense. The last verses he wrote were :
