The editor of Puck has succeeded in writing a witty, bumorous, and tender story of life in the French quarter of New York City, which extends from Broadway to Sixth Avenue and from Washington Square south to Prince Street, and is almost an unknown region to the cultured readers of fiction living in the same city. A college-bred physician, whose only practice is for cases of charity; "the midge," a little girl of twelve, whom he adopts after the death of her mother, under circumstances which the author describes with admirable minuteness; and a young junior ccer in the navy, home on sick-leave, who employs his time in making sketches of great merit, are the leading characters. The story is simple in plot, but every word tells of the author's knowledge of human nature, and proves once more how much "laughter is akin to tears.' Bunyan J: Grate abounding to the chief of sinN.

Next door are her two nieces, two charming young girls, who have been left by their father's death dependent on their own exertions for a living-Kate, the elder, being the leading soprano in a prominent church.

Henry Frankland brought with him from the easy-going London of the eighteenth century a Bohemian spirit, which was emphasized by being seen against the background of New England Puritanism and was as far removed from the character of its surroundings as from the tone of the quaint fishing hamlet of Marblehead.

The earnestness and enthusiasm of this wor' are quite as remarkable as its thoroughness and accuracy. Coming as it does from the pen of an "adopted citizen of the Republic," it seems to prove Mr. Carnegie's assertion that there is no class so intensely patriotic, so wildly devoted to the Republic, as the naturalized citizen and his child." It is a review of the progress made during the past fifty years by the United States, and a candid presentation of the present condition, based on the latest statistics, of its manufactures, agriculture, trade and commerce, mining interests, railways and waterways, etc., with chapters on the Republic, the American people, conditions of life, occupations, education, religion, pauperism and crime, art and music, literature, the national balance-sheet, and the government's non-political work. The style is so simple and attractive, and yet so broad and intelligent, that it cannot fail to create for the work a great popular success. Comparisons are made throughout between Great Britain and the United States, and always in favor of the latter. *Carnochan, J. M., M.D. Contributions to operative surgery. Pt. 9. N. Y., Harper 1886.

N Y., Ap The object of this volume is to present to the public a number of attractive receipts in a form so clear and con cise as to render their execution practicable and comparatively easy. This is a need that has long been felt, books of value on the subject of cookery hitherto pubshed having generally been written in French, while many that have appeared in English have been so full of technical terms as to harass and puzzle the inexperienced. The writer, who was formerely chef d'entre mets at Delmonico's, has endeavored to avoid unusual terms, and to give his receipts in a condensed but perfectly dear form. Good index. Carr, Christopher, [pseud.?] Memoirs of Arthur Hamilton, B. A. of Trinity College, Cambridge; extracted from his letters and diaries, with reminiscences of his conversation, by his friend Christopher Carr of the same college. N. Y., H: Holt & Co., 1886. 10+ 226 p. D. cl., $1.50. Arthur Hamilton is a fictitious character. The author invents the circumstances and events in the life of a student at Cambridge. His aim is to describe, discuss, and account for the various beliefs, philosophical systems, doubts, religious aspirations and character-shaping epi sodes in the life of earnest, honest, educated men of the present day. The larger part of the letters and conversations deal with religious questions. Arthur is sketched "thorough-going determinist, who was still faithful to the voice of duty, still striving upward. He preserved at heart a serenity that was not thoughtlessness, a cheerfulness that was not hilarity, a humor that was Bot cynicism." The book will only be appreciated by thoughtful people. It teaches that the end of life is to teach discipline for ourselves and helpfulness for others. Carpenter, H: Bernard. Liber amoris, being the book of love of Brother Aurelius.

Many of the incidents are quite painful. *Cassell's miniature library of the poets. Contents Hood, 2 v smith, a v don 14 v. N. Y., Cassell & Co., 1886.
