LORD ARTHUR SAVILE'S CRIME. The first volume of a new popular series of Oscar Wilde's works, in twelve volumes, each of which will be obtainable separately, is announced by Messrs. Methuen. This is "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime," the story on which Mr. H. B. Irving's recently announced play is founded. The other contents of the volume include "The Canterville Ghost," which has been described as the most amusing ghost story ever written, although it is relieved by those touches of pathos and beauty, seldom absent even from Wilde's lightest work. "The Portrait of Mr. W. H.," which first appeared in "Blackwood's Magazine" of July, 1889, is well known to all Shakespearean students.
