DEBANS, CAMILLE. Catherine's coquetries: a tale of French country life; tr. by Leon Meade. Worthington. il. 12°, $1; pap., 75 c. Catherine is a handsome, educated girl, married to a gamekeeper; the gamekeeper is a noble fellow, however-intelligent and brave. The couple misunderstood each other-she thinks her husband indifferent, and he believes his wife to

be a coquette-and grow farther and farther apart. Catherine's recklessness ends in a tragedy which closes the book. The scene is in France, the characters being chiefly French peasants. EDWARDS, M. BETHAM. For one and the world. United States Book Co. 12°, (Lovell's international ser., no. 115.) $1; pap., 50 c.

A young Russian phy ician is called to attend a delicate boy in the south of France. She is afterwards hired to attend him and educate him in his English home. She stumbles upon a family secret which brings the boy under proper guardianship. His one interest is Euclid, and in course of time he goes to college and graduates with honor. Nadine, the doctor, is full of plans and work for all who need her. Her motto is, "For one and the world." She works for the world by always doing the task that is nearest. The descriptions of the servants of a rich establishment enliven the sometimes rather sombre narrative.

FRANCE, ANATOLE. Abeille; ed. by C. P. Lebon. Heath. 12°, pap., 30 c.

"Those of us who in our youth studied the French tongue, and whose ideas of French conversation and literature are even yet largely based upon recollections of the remarkable conversations of Ollendorff and La Fontaine's fables, can get some notion of how much better is the literature provided for the young translator of to-day by glancing at Anatole France's Abeille,' a delightful little volume, edited by Charles P. Le Bon, of the Boston High School. The humor of the story, and its gentle, almost imperceptible moralizing, are likely to tempt almost any one to read who can be tempted. As for the pupils who never undertake French literature except at point of bayonet, 'Abeille' is much less depressing than inquiries as to who has the large umbrella of the watchmaker's brother-in-law."-The

FRANZOS, KARL EMIL.

The chief justice. United States Book Co. 12°, (Lovell's ser. of foreign literature, no. 5.) pap., 50 c. By the author of For the right," "The Jews of Barnow," etc. A high ethical purpose pervades all this writer's novels. He is the son of a Polish Jew of Gallicia, and was b. in 1848. "The chief justice" of this story finds himself called upon to preside in a case of child-murder. In learning the details of the case he discovers to his horror that the woman to be tried is his own daughter, the offspring of an illicit love affair of his youth. As he had ruined and de

serted the mother, another had ruined and deserted his child, who to hide her shame had strangled her child. The moral is that one cannot escape even in this world the punishment for one's sins. A powerful picture is drawn of the judge's remorse and atonement. The scene is laid in Vienna about forty years ago. Gardener, Helen H. A thoughtless yes. Belford. 12°, (The Belford American novel ser., no. 29.) $1 pap., 50 c.

66 In this volume are collected a few short stories of more serious quality than many romancers attempt. The mystery and consequences of heredity is the motive of some of the strongest ; another is on the awfulness of poverty to a nature which also is affectionate and has others dependent upon it. Nearly all are forceful; nearly all are sad also. The author is not morbid ; she is honestly thoughtful, but there are themes upon which thought tends toward gloom, and contemplation of individuals and conditions which are not as they should be may quite as rightly throw sombre tints over a story as over essay or sermon.' -N. Y. Herald.

20 C.

"The phantom 'rickshaw' is of composite nature, the first half consisting of ghost stories, while the remaining tales are about children. The earlier part, as the author explains in his preface, is not exactly a book of downright ghost stories; it is rather a collection of facts that never quite explained themselves. Nevertheless the tales are quite as grisly as any one will demand, although Mr. Kipling makes fun of all of them, and insinuates that they can be traced back to some variety of Indian fever or to the high spirits which are absorbed from bottles with popular labels. In his stories about children the author appears in a new field with remarkable success. He says: Only women understand children thoroughly, but if a man keeps very quiet and humbles himself properly and refrains from talking down to his superiors, the children will sometimes be good to him and let him see what they think about the world.' This is overmodest, for no woman has described in literature so manly a boy as 'Wee Willie Winkie,' and there are millions of modern mothers who will not discern the heartbreaking moral of the author's Baa, baa, black sheep.' No one will read the book, as a whole, without longing for another by the same writer."-N. Y. Herald.

"It would have been more gratifying both to her readers and her reviewers if Mrs. Walford had on this occasion given us one of those longer works, of the kind which won for her her reputation. A paper-covered booklet seldom contains much matter worthy of either remembrance or comment. In "The havoc of a smile" Gregory Pomfret, the ugly duckling of the Pomfret family despised by his mother and sisters, and altogether neglected and uncared-for, is taken up, out of mere kind-heartedness and pity, by Beahas come to stay in the house, and proceeds to trice Andover, a handsome young heiress who lose his heart to her, until rudely awakened from his dream. All that can be said of this short and slight tale is that it is worthy of the author, so far as it goes: the characters are skilfully drawn, and the action is easy and natural."-The Acad

Though nominally devoted to an account of the State of California between the years 1860-'90, this volume, in point of fact, covers a much longer period, tracing the development of agriculture from the first settlement of the Pacific coast, and of the commerce and courts of law from 1848. Among other topics discussed are the attitude of the Californians during the Civil War, the Indian troubles and the Chinese question, the extension of mining and stock gambling, the framing of a new constitution in 1878-'79, the railway system of California and the progress and prospects of San Francisco. An index of 66 pages to the seven volumes is given.

"The author of the volume excels in his capacity to grasp the leading facts, the primal truths of history from the great mass of facts that present themselves. There are always leading facts,' upon which a multitude of others depend, always of interest to know; but yet if the young student gets the great basis truths, he has the proper foundation for a future study, and such facts learned are of value to remember. To learn history is not so much to remember dates of battles, or of great events, but to secure in the mind a clear idea of the inner thought and spirit of the people which has shaped the national life. In this the author has done exceptionally good work. The book is elegant in its concise clear sentences, and the publishers have done a full part in the fine illustrations and excellent maps illustrative of the text."— Phila. Evening Telegraph.

The epoch of which this volume professes to treat embraces a period of about 300 years (B.C. 164 to A.D. 135) and has an intimate bearing on one of the most momentous turning-points in the history of the world. The first half of this period is almost coincident with the formation of the great confederation of Mediterranean states under the supremacy of Rome-a confederation which constituted the most important external preparation for the success of Christianity; the second half is coincident with the birth, development and primitive organization of the Christian faith."Preface.

Mr. Weeden, of Providence, the well-known manufacturer and writer on economic subjects, has here produced a work of unusual value. It covers a new field of inquiry, one which now possesses a greater degree of interest than ever before for students of social and industrial questions. It is not a general history of New England, and

touches its political history only as this affects or is affected by its sociai and economic interests. But the peculiar elements in the settlement, colo

nization and development of New England give a somewhat unique character to these interests.

to be dead his soul was alive to many experiences which gave him a sight of heaven and hell, and convinced him that there is no plan by which sin can be forgiven and the pangs of remorse deadened but by faith in a personal Saviour. The book is poetically written and has a serious moral purpose.
