The author has also made the forty-seven illustrations which he assures his readers are accurate representations of landscapes, architecture, implements, costumes, and human types. The story is told in autobiographical form. The horrors of slave-life would seem impossible in a world containing any civilized country. The writer is author of "The Kilimanjaro expedition," etc.

This work has just been adopted as a text-book at the Military Academy at West Point. Starting out with the general principles of army organizations and discipline it takes up the subject of the tactical use of the different arms of the service, singly and combined. While not entering into "drill tactics proper, it explains the present methods of handling troops in battle, march, camp, reconnoissance, scrutiny, contact, etc., and shows how these methods have grown out from the experience gained in war. The treatment of logistics and strategy singly, and in their relation to each other and to tactics, is logical, clear, and free from dogmatism and confusing terms and definitions. The work is fully up to

date in all respects.

Thermo-dynamics of the steam engine and other heat-engines. N. Y., J: Wiley & Sons, 1889. c. 18+470 p. O. cl., $5.

Designed to give instruction to students in technical schools in the methods and results of the application of thermodynamics to engineering. The feature in which the book differs most from similar works is in the treatment of the steam-engine. It has been deemed advisable to avoid all approximate theories based on the assumption of adiabatic changes of steam in an engine cylinder, and instead to make a systematic study of steamengine tests, with the view of finding what is actually known on the subject, and how future investigations and improvements may be made. For this purpose a large number of tests have been collected, arranged, and compared. Special attention is given to the investigations of the action of steam in the cylinder of an engine, considerable space being given to Hirn's researches and to experiments that provide the basis of them. Directions and compound engines. are given for testing engines, and for designing simple

Most of "Our journey to the Hebrides" originally appeared in Harper's Magazine. The writers say they have been criticised for dwelling too much upon the misery of the inhabitants of the places visited. They were not blind to the beauty, the sternness, the wildness of the country; but the sadness and sorrows of its downtrodden, semi-starved people left a more lasting impression than the wonder and beauty of their land. They do not attempt to give reasons for the economic problems. They merely describe. The illustrations are pretty and with a Scotch thistle. the book is tastefully bound in blue cloth ornamented

The account of the battle is written with spirit by one who knows every foot of the ground.

Fishin' Jimmy is introduced as an old man teaching two young boys his favorite art. With his many practical lessons he interweaves lessons of simple faith, of unwearied patience, of self-denial and cheerful endurance, which, strangely enough, he claims to have learned from his favorite sport. To him the fisherman's art is a whole system of morality, a guide for every-day life, an education and a gospel to make men, women, and children happy, useful, and good.

The last of the Van Slacks, a handsome rich young man of twenty-seven, having exhausted many methods of passing summer vacations, concludes to buy The Clarion, a prohibitionist paper published in a New England seaport town. The first editorials opposed to prohibition upset the town and his paper is finally raided and suppressed. The romances interwoven do not run smooth. A make-believe prohibition giant and a makebelieve German baron play important parts. The plot is involved and is worked out by two murders. Warner, C: Dudley.

Mr. Warner s object was not to present a comprehensive account of the country South and West, but to note certain representative developments, tendencies, and dispositions, the communication of which would lead to a better under

Birch Dene is an English cotton-spinning district during the first years of this century. The hero is apprenticed to learn the trade, and the story gives a realistic representation of the cruelty to which apprentices had to submit in those dark days. Stealing and even insubordination were punished with death. There is a mystery about the hero's father which is well worked out. His mother takes a cloak to save him from freezing, and is condemned to death. He is apprenticed first to a second-hand bookseller, but upon his death drifts to Birch Dene, where he bravely works out a brilliant ca
