These rules were very carefully made up from the A. L. A. Code five years ago. Since then they have been in daily use in the Columbia Library training classes, and the two years in the Library school. For over two years they have been in type, subject to constant criticism and suggestion from those needing their help, and hundreds of minor changes in wording and illustration have been made in the effort to fit them as perfectly as possible for an invaluable guide to catalogers. The most important feature is the graphic illustrations. Fifty-two fac-simile cards were found necessary to fully illustrate all the points. These include all details: the names, titles, imprint, capitals, spacing, indention, reference, and call numbers. They are printed twice in order to show the red down lines in proper position, and blue ink is also indicated by special type. De Witt, Julia A. W. How he made his fortune. Bost., Congregational S.

The opening chapter announces the death of a brilliant society woman. The remainder of the book describes her career. Born on a Southern plantation, tired of humdrum life with her father, an inventor, her sister, and a trusted housekeeper, she engages herself to one man, suddenly marries anotber, and goes to France. Her husband dies on the steamer. Some time after she marries a New York business man and takes her position in society. A young Frenchman appears, who falls in love with her and proves to be her son. A dramatic interview with him leads to the death with which the story opens.

A selection of letters, from the three volumes of Dickens' letters edited by his sister-in-law and his eldest daughter, and published about ten years ago by the Scribners. The publishers believe that, valuable as the original edition must remain to many of Dickens' admirers, there is at present another audience for whom the letters will gain rather than lose by compression." The volume is uniform with "A collection of letters of Thackeray."

author considers only second to that of the Alps, is most enthusiastically described. Coming from Paris to Bordeaux and thence to Bayonne and on to Biarritz, Mr. Dix made a halt at this famous watering-place, with its many memories of the Empress Eugénie. From Biarritz he made many short excursions to San Sebastian, St. Jean de Luz, Fuenterrabia, Hendage, and other adjacent places of note. At Pau again he made a stop, running down to Eaux Chandes. Eaux Bonnes, Bigorre, Barèges, Gavarnie, Luchon, and the many other noted recorts clustered here in the mountains. His journey ended on the Mediterranean, having taken him through the very heart of the Pyrenees. His pen does full justice to its mountain peaks, its glanciers and crags, its winding roads and gorges, and the luxurious vegetation and foliage of its valleys. *Dixey, Wolstan.

This epistle gives the clearest account of the actual difficulties encountered by Christianity in a heathen community. The religion of Christ unavoidably wrought changes in the daily life and common customs and made war upon the culture, the vices, and the various social arrangements of paganism. A host of difficult questions were poured upon Paul and his calm answers are striking in their intellectual vigor and practical sagacity.

"The animating spirit of the address is embodied in the sentences: It begins to be seen that this (the tariff controversy) is not a mere question of expediency. Ethics are indeed supreme. It is only questions of justice-the right and the wrong-that take a deep hold upon the human heart So long as the public mind is unconscious of the moral aspects of political questions affairs drift as if chaos were come again; and thoughtis only when the public conscience is aroused that hope ful observers are driven to despair-to pessimism. It revives and we become at once convinced that there is more than hope for humanity.'

The object of this manual is to instruct those who are desirous of knowing what course to pursue in emergencies, in order that sick or injured may be temporarily relieved. Special effort has been made to so arrange the matter and introduce such points as will be of use to the ambulance corps connected with the different military organizations. Considerable space has been devoted to anatomy and physiology, in order that the subject may be well understood by non-medical persons. Each topic is explained in a plain and simple manner, and when medical terms are used their lay synonyms are also given. The numerous illustrations aid materially in making the work more intelligible.

Dreamer (A) of dreams : a modern romance; by the author of Thoth." N. Y., Appleton, 1889. 4+250 p. S. (Appleton's town and country lib., no. 25.) pap., 50 c.

The hero is a young Englishman of exceptional gifts and culture who desires to enjoy "the fulness of life." He had had expectations from his uncle, who possesses two million of pounds sterling, but who finally takes from him even the moderate income he had allowed him. The uncle's son, Stephen, is a foolish, ignorant fellow that education does little for, and who is cast off one day by his father in a fit of disgust. Stephen, cast adrift with a few thousand pounds, goes in search of his fortune to South Africa. Henry Newman, the hero, after many unsuccessful attempts to rapidly accumulate money in order to enjoy life, becomes "a dreamer of dreams" through the medium of opium. The habit degrades him mentally and physically, and he is only saved from a crime through an accident. There is a love affair, which is subordinate to the other incidents.

Micah Clarke, who tells the story in the first person to

introducing the Stuarts, Cromwell, Claverhouse, Mon-
mouth, and many heroes on both sides of those fierce bat-

style is happily chosen; the book is full of adventure,
and correct in historical details. A dramatic and viva-

The series of descriptions embraced in these two handsome volumes were brought together by Mr. Du Chaillu, through the most patient and laborious research. The reading of the Sagas alone, of which there are many hundreds, dealing with the events of a man's life from his birth to his death, was a work of many years. And this was done, not from translations, but from the original documents The testimony of archaeology, as corroborating the Sagas, forms one of the most important links in the chain of his argument. The researches of the past fifty years have unearthed almost every kind of implement, weapon, and ornament, throwing a wonderful light upon the history
