He thus introduces himself into the office of a young lawyer in the seventh abyss of despair, and a rather sudden partnership was arranged between them.

Wilkins.The record of a canoe trip down the Mississippi River, in which the natural beauties of the locality were visited and the natural roughness encountered in many of the natives and and in their actions and manner of life.

His hobby is the purchase of "dead souls" or the bodies of serfs, who though deceased had not as yet been cancelled from the tax-list of serfs. What he intends to do with these mortuary chattels is kept for a long time from the reader. His escapades and adventures, his indiarubber resistance of the hard blows of fate and circumstanc.s his cool deviltry, reminds one of many of the novels in England a century ago.

ELSIE'S WEDDING. By Jasper Barnett Cowdin.-"Cupid in a Net", a humorous ballad of a double elopement with its attendant comedy of errors is one of the longer of the two dozen

poems given.

The remaining poems are fragments and reflections on life and nature.-D. S. Holmes, 1.00

FROM DAWN TO DUSK. By Hunter MacCullough.A collection of verse varied in strain and sentiment, yet chiefly in the lighter vein in which the poet has sweeter music than in his serious moods.

By H. O. Von

GOTHAM AND THE GOTHAMITES. Karlstein.-A kind of a description of the goodness and wickedness of New York the former quality seeming to occur only in streaks. Among other things, the author thinks our city is "a marvel of grandeur and a charnel-house of squalor, a colossus of charity and a giant of bigotry, a mountain of freedom and an abyss of slavery, a statue of virtue and cess-pool of vice-it is a cosmos."-Laird and Lee, Chicago, .50

HOME LIFE OF GREAT AUTHORS. By Hattie Tyng Griswold.-Sketches on the every-day life of masters literature. The idea has been to give those items, which develop most fully a portrait of the author as an individual; as a man rather than a mere writer. They do not pretend to be complete biographies. The authors taken are American English, French and German. The light of a true writer's personality throws a warm radiance over his writings,and makes them doubly interesting.-McClurg & Co., 1.50

HOUSE PLANTS AS SANITARY AGENTS. By Dr. J. M. Anders.-A study of the relation of growing vegetation to health and disease, comprising also a consideration of the subject of practical floriculture and of the sanitary influences of forest and plantations.

B. Lippincott Co.

HOW? By Kennedy Holbrook.-This "how" for boys and girls, is devoted to the best methods for making spare time profitable and entertaining. Tricks, games, popular presentations and experiments in science, mechanical toys, boat building and the other trifles that charm the play-hours of boys, are given in directions so simple that all may understand; the illustration; lending much to the attractiveness of the book which will supply many happy hours to wide awake boys-Worthington Co., 2.00

IN THE CLOUDS. By Charles Egbert Craddo k.-Alethea Sayles, in her lonely home amidst the summits of the Tennessee Mountains, was one of those pure, noble, high-minded women, whom nature sometimes evolves as a sacred mystery from a long line of ignorant and common people. Her very lack of education seems to give us a keener glimpse of an innate instinct of refinement, that no mere social training could produce. The pictures of life and character in the mountains are strong and graphic, and the touches of natural scenery vivid, dainty and most sympathetically realistic.-Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1.25

IN THE WRONG PARADISE, AND OTHER STORIES. By A. Lang.-Mr. Lang does not attempt to spoon-feed his readers with an ounce of reading to give them a few grains of information, yet he has himself, absorbed so much interesting matter in science, art and travel that it must permeate what he writes. The nine stories and sketches are clever, original and entertaining. The Gladstone Myth," from Prof. Boscher's Post Christian Mythology, Berlin, A. D. 3886 is a happy bit of satire.-Harper's, .60

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF BROWNING. By Arthur Symons.-With the intent to bring the best points of Browning's verse before those who have not familiarized themselves with the poet, the author presents a careful critical estimate of the individuality and strength of the poetry that has called forth so many diverse vi ws on all sides. The bibliography of Browning contains fifty-one titles; some discarded prefaces from earlier poems are also given.-Cassell, .75

JOHN WESTACOTT. By James Baker.-In a quiet little retreat, nestled beneath the peaks of the Bohemian mountains on the borderland of Germany and Austria, lived Lieschen with her father, the forester. She was beautiful, tender and thoughtful, her fragmentary readings made her long for a larger world of interests, a sphere with greater possibilities for earnest intellectual living. The author's views of fatalism are shown in the effects made on Lieschen by the English artists and the travellers who pass through the village and mark a new era in her existence.-Harper's, .20

LIBER AMORIS, being the book of love of Brother Aurelius.-Seated before the midnight fire in a monastery, in one of the wild mountainous regions of Auvergne, brother Aurelius depicts the life of the young Provencal Knight, Sir Dorian as related in the Book of Love, bequeathed to him by Dorian. The four songs, which are really overtures, measure out the poem into four watches between midnight and morning, which the dying monk makes his last confessions in a review of his past life. It is a glorification of love in which the weak imperfect love is gradually merged into a love almost divine.-Ticknor & Co., 1.75

LINES AND INTERLINES. By Julia P. Boynton. Fifty two short poems comprising, A Legend of the Bell, The Passing of the Angels, The Tragedy of a Field, The Pilgrim and the Pearl and others. Flowers, the season and reflection on the infinite number of themes upon which verse makers love to dwell, make up the volume.-Putnam's, 1.25

LOCKSLEY HALL SIXTY YEARS. By Alfred Lord Tennyson.-The opening poem, which gives title to the book is a later view of Locksley Hall, gloomy, cynical and pessimistic. The Promise of May" is a drama of rural life. The remaining poems are "The Fleet" and "The Opening of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition," being short appropriate tributes.-Macmillan, 1.50

THE MINISTER'S CHARGE. By Wm. Dean Howells.In an ungarded moment Mr. Sewell, the minister, bestows praise on a rather crude literary production of Lemuel Barker that influence the young man to go to Boston to seek a publisher for it. The transition from country to city life proved a strong temptation to the rustic youth and trouble and misfortune close in around him. The tender conscience of the minister constantly charges him with the evils resulting from his kindly words of approval. Mr. Sewell is mentioned in "Silas Lapham.” -Ticknor & Co., 1.50

MOORS IN SPAIN. By Stanley Lane-Poole.-The Moors made a golden era in the history of Spain, and placed this nation at the head of the civilization of the world of its time. Science, art, manufactures, developed to a high degree, went hand in hand with education and refinement. The bright side of Mohammedism placed Spain in a position that required all the active labor of the Bourbon dynasty to destroy it. A most picturesque period for a history, and here presented clearly and with force.— G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1.50.

MY LODGER'S LEGACY. By Robert W. Hume.-Lodgers do not as a rule leave their landladies legacies when they depart this life, and if they make an exception it is generally something heavier than a manuscript of autobiography. The history left by Roland Hardiman treats of incidents of to-day, social and political problems, more or less connected with his life. He, an educated man of means, weds an innkeeper's daughter, who proves inconstant and fickle after loving him for many long years. Funk and Wagnall, .75

NEW SONGS AND BALLADS. By Nora Perry.-Miss Perry's graceful, pleasing verses are so well known that a mention of their number with an announcement of their publication is all that is necessary. This collection comprises fifty poems, many of which have never before been published, while those which have already had a life in the periodicals are well worthy of re-perusal.-Ticknor & Co., 1.50

THE NINE OF HEARTS. By B. L. Farjeon.-Edward Layton was arrested and tried for the murder of his wife by poisoning. Circumstances seemed to have woven a web around him that seemed to make a verdict of his innocence impossible. His lawyer received word from America offering an almost fabulous fee if Layton's innocence were proven. A card, the nine of hearts, found in his pocket, was the slight clue that, by clever de. tective work, revealed the whole diabolical plot.-Harpers, .25

NOVEMBER. Edited by Oscar Fay Adams.-The beauties of Indian Summer make a more happy and poetic theme than the later days when the first breath of winter stripping trees and shrubbery of their parti-colored dress, makes the approach of cold days seem real and fearful. This volume completing the collection of the poetry of the year, exhibits the same fullness and depth of refined feeling and poetic suggestion shown by its predecessors.-Lothrop & Co., .75

OLD BONIFACE. By George H. Picard.-A story of life in England and the United States, giving English, Scottish and American characters, with clever dialogues and special attention being paid to the delineation of feminine doings and manners of thought. Lady Mary Duff-Gordon, the impoverished daughter of a Scotch Earl, and Mrs. Swift, fond of her dress, her conversation, and herself are character studies well worked out.White, Stokes & Allen, 1.50

THE ORIGIN OF THE FITTEST. Essays on Evolution. By E. D. Cope, Ph. D., New York.-Twenty-one essays on the subject of evolution, written and published in the periodicals by the author during the past seventeen years. Many of the papers are, from their nature, involved in technical terms that make them valuable to the student of biology rather than the general public, yet probably half of them are popular and simple in treatment for general reading.-Appleton & Co., 3.00

OTHELLO AND DESDEMONA. By Dr. Ellits.-The manner of the death of Desdemona is the subject of a careful study by the author who believes that it was due to smothering; and that Othello made a very bungling piece of work of it, by his

unfamiliarity with the scientific principle upon which suffocation can produce most quickly the desired effect with the greatest ease to the murderer. Medical authorities are cited in support of the statements. Calderon's indebtedness to Shakespeare is shown by his using not only the same story, but choice morsels of sentiment and expression from "Othello."-J. B. Lippincott & Co.

PSYCHOLOGY. By John Dewey, Ph. D., Professor in Michigan University.-To prepare a text book for schools that avoids all material not strictly psychological, and to reflect the investigation of scientific specialists in this branch has been the author's intent, and to so arrange the matter as to lead naturally and easily to the problems which the student will meet in his further studies, to suggest the principles along which they shall find their solutions, and above all to develop the philosophic spirit.Harpers, 1.25

THE POET'S PRAISE. By H. Hamilton.-In one hundred and forty-three poems, each complete in itself, but together forming a connected whole, Mr. Hamilton sings the praise of the poets, whom he believes are nearer to truth, nature and God than the philosophers, who lead us through quagmires of doubt and speculation with no real end. Faith he thus longs for more than doubting investigation-Putnam's, 1.25 QUEEN OF THE PIRATE ISLE. By Bret Harte. Illustrated by Kate Greenaway.-Little Polly, a young lady of nine summers, had considerable amusement in "pretending" to be certain personages of high descent or special family interest. She and her co-adjutors in mischief, Hickory Hunt and Wan Lee, play pirates, Polly being first lady in the cast. These precocious children in their adventures strike a rich old lode in one of the mines.-Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1.50

RANKELL'S REMAINS. By Barrett Wendell.-The title is a plain, direct and real index to the character of the story, the plot turning on the theft of a body, suggesting in some respects the stealing of the remains of A. T. Stewart. some years ago. Mr. Rankell is a successful merchant, whose character is quite a study. The picture of the National Convention, which is made an important episode, is graphic and spirited.-Ticknor & Co.

RECOLLECTIONS OF A PRIVATE SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. By Frank Wilkeson.-The writer served a year as a volunteer in the regular army, and as the result of his observations, thinks that the histories of the war thus far written have been inaccurate, and being the work of officers, give too little credit to the soldiers, the bone and sinew of the war. He is bitter against the commanders, for whom he has no respect.-Putnam's, 100

REMINISCENCES AND OPINIONS. By Sir Francis Doyle. The author for years moved in social and literary circles where he was brought into intimate relations with all the eminent Englishmen of the time. The reminiscences cover a period of seventy-two years, from 1813 to 1885, during which Sir Francis was for a time a barrister, then he entered the civil service, and later was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford. He has seen much of interest, the recital of which is worthy of our attention.-Appleton, 2.00

RISIFI'S DAUGHTER. A Drama. By Anna Katharine Green. To preserve the falling house of Osaldi it seems necessary that one of the Prince's sons must wed wealth. Negotiations were consummated for the hand of Genevra, daughter of Risifi, a merchant. The two brothers, each unconscious of the other's love, by chance meetings and occasional glimpses of her beauty become desperately in love with her. High-souled, noble men, they are startled and shocked at the revelation speedily brought about, and the self-sacrificing affection of one of them cut the Gordian knot. It is written in blank verse, in five acts with sixteen characters.-Putnam's Sons, 1.00

SHAKESPEARE. By Victor Hugo. Translated by M. B. Anderson. This study appears not so much a biographical essay or critique of Shakespeare as upon the characteristics suggested by him, that is the relation of literature to human life, souls, men of,genius, art and science, criticism, the beauti

ful and the true, poetry and allied topics. The work claims no merit as giving any new facts, but simply for the power and appreciation shown in the essay.-McClurg, 2.00

SHE. By J. Ryder Haggard, author of " King Solomon's Mines."-An expedition into Africa, made by Englishmen, meets with thrilling adventures in a wonderful country, peopled with terrible tribes of men, and beautiful savage women, ruled over by "She," a powerful white woman, to whom is ascribed immortality caused by her baths in the fountain of fire.

The wonderful life attributed to She" is the central interest. of the narrative.-Harpers, .25.

SHELLEY.

By Edw. Dowden.-The author has had access to a large amount of unpublished correspondence, memoranda, notes, etc., of Shelley, with the cooperation and sanction of the poet's family. The result of the work is a careful biography which evidences a constant desire for the truth on all points, even if that truth be disagreeable. The biographer has an exalted opinion of Shelley, but never so much so as to weaken his judgment. Many new items are given of the early struggles of Shelley in London, the scandal at Naples, Mary Godwin, etc. 2 vols.-Lippincott Co., 9.00

Anecdotes and illustrations from the lives and speeches of leaders, give an additional value to the pages.-Ha'pers, 1.25

SIDNEY (SIR PHILIP). By J. A. Symonds.-Sidney does not appear at this late day as worthy of the renown and fame given him by his contemporaries. So much of the charm of his typical gentleman lay in his personality, that it is only by shedding upon him the light of the judgment passed upon him by men of his time that a really appreciative estimate of him as a man and as a writer can be obtained. This Mr. Symonds has done faithfully.-Harpers, .75

SOCIAL REGISTER OF NEW YORK, 1887.-A record of metropolitan society comprising a list of its members with their addresses, the maiden names of many of the married women, the club addresses of the men, names of the officers of the leading societies and clubs, a list of box holders at the Metropolitan Opera House with other information.-Social Register Ass'n, 1.75

Harper & Bros., 20.

A STUDY OF MEXICO. By David A. Wells.-The author having been favored with rare facilities for leisurely visiting and studying Mexico in all its phases, city, town, hacienda, mine or desert, has written a series of papers on the language, manners and customs, social and political condition, climate and natural status and possibilities.

TARTARIN ON THE ALPS. By Alphonse Daudet.Tartarin, a bright-eyed, happy man, belong to Tarason in the south of France. He was a braggart of a malignant type and did all his perilous hunting and travel by sheer force of imagi nation. Spite of his fifty years, he is appointed president of the Alpine Climbing Association. The doings of the club and the talk of the members is told in a bright clever way with a

nature.

keen insight into the sham professions and weakness of human The exquisite photo-gravures lend much attractive ness to the history.-Routledge, 2.00

TAKEN BY SIEGE.-Rush Hurlstone has his ambition fired by his success on a country paper, and thinking he could "take glory by storm" in New York, entered into the list of minions of The Dawn, and learns real journalism rather than the ideal. While reporting some Academy of Music matters. he loses his heart to the prima donna, whom he waits on so long, that it seems like taking her by siege. New York society is clearly and sharply reduced to paper in this narrative.-Lippincott Co., 1.25.

TALKS WITH SOCRATES ABOUT LIFE.-The dialogue occupying the larger part of the volume, although generally known by the name of the Rhetorican, Georgias, sometimes bears the subtitle of Rhetoric, the aim of which is nothing less than to discover wherein happiness, or, what to Plato is a synonymous term," the good" consists. The translation is said by scholars to be remarkably simple, idiomotic, and accurate.-Scribner's, 100

TERESA ITASCA and OTHER STORIES. By Avery Max Alpine.-Philip Temple, a New England railway engineer leaves his wife and child to go to the West. In Las Rosas, said to be a province of Mexico, he meets Teresa Itasca, a beautiful, innocent and heroic girl, who loves and trusts him.

Dudley Warner.-A tour of the watering-places of America, Fortress Monroe, Cape May, Atlantic City, Catskills, Newport, Bar Harbor, Lake George, Saratoga, Niagara, White Mountains, Natural Bridge, and Ocean Grove, detailing the life there, how people act and talk, the peculiarities of each, and the social happiness of the tourists who move through the story like magnets, attracting to the reader so many varieties of people and scenes. lightly but cleverly delineated.-Harper's 2.00

THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA. By Edward Money. -The author does not aim to tell all the disagreeable truths about America, but merely to expose some of the frauds practised on emigrants by land agents of the West, and the troubles that meet them at their arrival. He does justice to the glorious climate of California as a health resort, and to the many advantages of the country. The title has a flavor about it that suggests "Another Villian Unmasked" from the daily papers.-London, 2.50

THE TRIAL OF GIDEON AND COUNTESS ALMARA'S MURDER. By Julian Hawthorne.-In the ancient days of Moab, death was meted out to him who presumed to offer before the gods aught that they did not deem worthy. Heedless of this, Gideon presumed to offer on the altar of Om, a golden image of his sweet-heart Melita, whom perhaps he considered even the angels themselves must adore. The scene of the second story is laid in New York.-Funk & Wagnalls,. 75 THE TALE OF TROY. By Aubrey Stewart.-In simplifying the story of the Trojan war, while preserving as well as possible the Homeric flavor and simplicity, Mr. Stewart has included a large number of cycle legends that aid one materially in relating the spirit of the time. The grouping of events has been by connecting with the acts of the chief heroes, the history of which they formed so vital a part.Macmillan & Co., 1.25

AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN and ASS'YA. By J. S. Turgenieff.-Three types of Russian nobility are here in noted. The first, an atheistic and egotistical pretender to French refinement, and an admirer of Voltaire; his brother is a patriotic Russian and strong believer in the church; the third, a nobleman by adoption, is a foreigner adventurer and spy. As in all of Turgenieff's novels, the needs of the serf is never forgotten. The luxurious vices of the higher classes are shown as contrasted with the cares and sorrows of the lower social grades they so cruelly oppress.-Funk and Wagnall, .75
