Mrs. Butler's (Miss Elizabeth Thompson) picture of " The 28th Regiment at Quatre Bras," which was exhibited at the Academy in 1875, has been purchased for the "Victorian National Gallery for slightly under £2000. Mr. Henry George has completed a new book, ■which he is at present making arrangements to publish in England. The great popularity of " Progress and Poverty " will doubtless ensure the new work a very favourable reception." The book -will probably bo entitled " Social Problems," and deals in a popular style with Mr. George's special subject, the land question, and other economic problems directly affecting the welfare of the people.
