Sixty-five short poems; the titles of a few are: A lover's mood: Dying at eighty: Love's faithfulness; A faded flower; Silent trust; A rhyme of duty; A song of God': comfort. To a rose's remains; Waiting for love, etc. Champlin, J: D., jr., Chronicle of the coach, Charing Cross to Ilfracombe; il. by E: L Chichester. N. Y., C: Scribner's Sons, 1886. 14+298 p. D. cl., $2.

This book is appropriately dedicated to Andrew Carne gie, a name identified with coaching throughout the Engglish reading world. The tour chronicled began at Charing Cross, on Monday June 9th, and ended at Ilfracombe Saturday, June 21st. It describes a charming variety of landscape, and recalls some of the most romantic and striking historical episodes in English history. It is not a bare recital of facts, but gains a kind of dramatic interest from the varied and attractive personalities who appear under pseudonyms, some of which are easily guessed. The book is delightfully illustrated by Edward L. Chichester, who enters into the author's spirit, but subordinates his excellent work to the narrative. The cover design is original and appropriate.

Flossy Tangles kein was an imaginative little girl, who was so discontented with her hum-drum-bread-andbutter-spelling-book, American child-life, that she even said to herself she would gladly change to a little Zulu savage, or an almond-eyed Öriental." One day she falls asleep in the studio of an artist friend, to whom she is posing for a picture of a Breton peasant child. In her dreams she has many adventures, and undergoes many transformations, becoming in turn a child of almost every nation on the globe. She has thus a chance to test her wish, but returns to reality quite satisfied that to be a little American girl is about the best of all. The story is an attractive mixture of fact and fiction, information and fairy-land adventures.

The argument of the book is addressed to pastors specially, who are accused by the writer of neglecting the children of their flock and trusting their training in piety entirely to the home and Sunday-school. Several of the chapters were prepared to be read before ecclesiastical bodies, and were also delivered as lectures to the students of the Divinity School at New Haven. It gives a very earnest description of the principles and methods most favorable for the culture of child-piety.

Chesneau that the present decadence of art in Europe is owing to the imperfect edu cation of the artist, is the reason which prompted the preparation of this work. In "education" he does not include technical training-it is the imperfect development of the intellectual powers and moral qualities to which he specially alludes, and also the lack of experience in the various phases of modern life. A number of most interesting chapters makes suggestions, that artists will find full of value in remedying their deficiencies in this way, or in opening up to them new methods of study.

Dr. Chester's book, while showing much of the absurdity of spiritualism, also aims to show the nobleness of true Bible spiritualism, inasmuch as the Scriptures fully answer all proper inquiries concerning the state of the dead; and the communion of saints through Christ and the Holy Spirit yields far more real comfort than could come through any séance though communication were possible. tains a slight thread of story with a view to make the book more popular.

For many vears after this the pirates held almost undisputed possession of the Mediterranean Sea.

Mr. Church says "it is difficult to tell the story of Carthage, because one has to tell it without sympathy, and from the standpoint of her enemies." He treats the nation from its obscure legendary origin to its culminating splendor as a rival of Rome, and then to its absolute extinction. The story is a solemn one, but Mr. Church makes it real, and his collaborateur, Mr. Gilman, has also done good work. It is divided into three parts, 1st, Legend and Early History: ad, Carthage and Greece: 3d, Carthage and Rome. There are nearly fifty illustrations.

Mr. Clay was one of the most prominent statesmen of his day. He was born in Madison Co., Ky,, Oct. 19, 1810. He graduated at Yale in 1832. One of his first acts in public life was to oppose the annexation of Texas to the Union. From the first he was an aggresive opponent of slavery, and in this volume he describes many exciting incidents in connection with his work in this direction. He became editor of the True American, an anti-slavery paper issued in Lexington, Ky., in 1845. He served as a captain in the Mexican war (1846-47), supported Lincoln in 1860, and became a brigadier-general of the Union army in 1861. He was Minister to Russia from 1862-'69. HIS autobiography is written with considerable frankness, and will prove an interesting addition to the literature of one of the most exciting epochs in the history of this country. This volume brings the narrative down to 1884. The second volume, which will be issued in 1887 probably contain chiefly letters and speeches. Claytor, Graham.

The subjects chiefly discussed are corporate and ring monopolies, the currency question, wages, and taxation. The book may be regarded as a sequel to "Reform," by the same author. The aim of "Reform' was chiefly to call attention to the limitations of almost every effort for the improvement of society. The aim of this study is "to show the great need of reform in certain directions, and to point out as definitely as the situation at present seems to warrant how such reform is to be efected"

This is a novel of two characters; the heroine 15 a rich, intellectual women of about thirty, who thinks a great deal of her social position and her descent from the very bluest kind of blue blood. She has refused many offers, but is finally wooed by Rufus Grosbeck, a poor and somewhat seedy"- looking scholar, to whose great in tellectual superiority she finally succumbs in the long run Cleveland, R: J.

navigator of the days that are past; comp. from the journals and letters of the late R: J Cleveland by H. W S. Cleveland. N. Y Harper, 1886. 6+245 p. por. D. cl., 1.25. The present work gains in interest in having for its hero an ancestor of President Cleveland. He was a typical seaman of two generations ago, who sailed from Salem in a merchant vessel and had many stirring and remarkable adventures, compared with which the stories of Defoe seem tame. This book has the advantage of being true, and also of depicting the whole life of an American seaman at the beginning of this century. Mr. Cleveland was a type of the better class of the American sailor of that day, of i. flexible honesty, indomitable will, courageous and enter prising.

Clement, Clara Erskine. A handbook of Christian symbols and stories of the saints, as illustrated in art, ed. by Katherine E. Conway. Bost., Tick nor & Co, 1886. 14+ 349 p. il. O. cl., $2.50

This work has been undertaken to satisfy a want often felt personally by the author and often expressed to her by others. Travelling abroad in Christian lands, symbolic forms are constantly met that are known in a general way to represent the mysteries and facts of the Christian faith, but fail to recall them accurately to the uninitiated beholder. Churches are dedicated to saints hitherto unheard of. The first part of the book is devoted to a treatise on symbolism in art; the second gives legends and stories illustrated in art. 1 here are copies of ten celebrated paintings and sketches of the lives of twenty-two saints. A full index occupies twenty-five pages of the book, and makes it a practical work of reference. It is handsomely gotten up in green cloth and red edges
