All we offer to the unfortunate workman, condemned to idleness by no fault of his own, but by fluctuations in trade or by unpropitious weather, is one loaf of bread and nine pence per day, with which to supply lodging, food, and clothing for himself and his family, and we exact as a condition the penal task of breaking thirteen cwts. of stone or picking four lbs. of oakum."

WASHINGTON
AND HIS COUNTRY.
Being Irving's life of Washington,
abridged for the use of schools.
With introduction and continuation.
By John Fiske. Boston: Ginn & Co.
Pp. 618. Boards. Price, $1.00.

Washington Irving and John Fiske on the life of Washington and the history of his country! A happy combination. And worthily has John Fiske fulfilled his task. The elegance of diction, the straightforward narrative, the directness, the glowing interest in the story - indeed, all the qualities which so distinguish Irving among authors are quite apparent in the work of Mr. Fiske. The introductory narrative is wonderfully well done. The continuation, if any portion, will be open to criticism. Mr. Fiske is fearless, direct, and decided. He makes no uncertain sound. He reviews the growth and arrogance of the slavepower which led to the secession movement and the civil war, with the hand of a master, but, possibly, he is sometimes too positive.

"The incompetent Burnside" are words that John Fiske should never have used. The term 66 doughface" is more expressive than elegant, and is used sometimes where another term would have been preferable. The omission of an initial letter in a person's name, as when he says Alexander Stephens, General Joseph Johnston, Sidney Johnston, Robert Lee, Francis Blair, etc., is not only in bad taste, but is without the shadow of an excuse or an apology.

The book, as a whole, is of very great value, and should have an immense sale both for school purposes and for the general reader.

By David J. Hill, LL.D., President of Bucknell University. With illustrative figures. New York and Chicago: Sheldon & Co. For sale by Warren P. Adams, 36 Bromfield Street, Boston.

The wonderful success which Dr. Hill's rhetorics and logic have had will lead all intelligent teachers to welcome gladly this new contribution to our educational literature. The work is clear, direct, and simple in style, and well adapted for the class-room. Its progressive analysis is clearly indicated by the typographical arrangement. It contains a full treatment of the intellect, sensibility, and will; also, abundant references to the best and most recent writers on this subject. This work, like his other text-books, has grown up in his own class-room and is therefore eminently practical.

Maturin M. Ballou, author of "Due West; or, Round the World in Ten Months; "Due North," etc. Boston: Ticknor & Co. Price, $1.50.

This new book by the interesting writer of travels is a description of Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Samoa, and other Pacific islands. As we all know, the next best thing to traveling is to read the best descriptions on travels. "Under the Southern Cross" must be placed in this class, for it gives clear and concise accounts of the various scenes and people visited in his travels, and gives the account in such an interesting way that the book becomes simply fascinating. The author knows not only how to write, but also how to

travel, for he notices all the peculiarities of the people, and all the little things that go to make the book extremely interesting.

A HISTORY OF ELIZABETHAN LITERATURE. By George Saintsbury. London and New York: Macmillan & Co. For sale by Willard Small, Boston. Price, $1.75.

The author of this original work has been studying the literature of this greatest period of the greatest literature in the world for twentyfive years and has compared it with the literature of other periods. The work is eminently original since the author is not afraid to give what some might think disproportionate space to authors who have seldom before found much, if any, room in succinct histories of the kind. Mr. Saintsbury is strongly convinced that in order to understand the literary history of a period it is necessary to study the minor as well as the major illustrations of it; therefore, he has given extracts which to him and others seemed desirable, and has left out all extracts from Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton, and Bacon. He is not afraid of a piece because it has been frequently given before, nor has he felt obliged to give it for the same reason. CASSELL'S NATIONAL LIBRARY. Ten cents a number. $5.00 a year.

MARY AND I; OR, FORTY YEARS AMONG THE SIOUX. By Stephen R. Riggs, D.D., LL.D. Portraits. With an introduction by Rev. S. C. Bartlett, D.D. Boston and Chicago: Congregational Sunday-School and Publishing Society.

The story of "Mary and I" is a story artlessly told of pioneer missionary efforts among the Sioux of the Northwest. From the letters written at the time to friends in the East, we get vivid pictures of the privations, discouragements, dangers, and triumphs of those who devoted their lives to giving the gospel to the Indian. Through the labors of Dr. Riggs the gospel was given to the Dakotas in their own language. and his devoted wife passed through what is known as the "Minnesota Massacre," and lived to witness the remarkable revival among the Indians, confined because of it in the Minnesota prisons, the blessed fruits of which are seen to this day.
