Henry Cabot Lodge supplements Hamilton's Federalist text with a Putnam edition and adds Washington's copy as the earliest yet found, though evidence remains inconclusive. Roberts Bros. issue Landor's Pentameron with Shakspere notes, plus Lear nonsenses in a new Lear edition. Browning Vol. V adds dramatic romances Christmas Eve and Easter Day. Macmillan’s edition grows more appealing.
