Foundation Lessons in English Language and Grammar, by O. I and M. S. Woodley, authora of "Foundation Lessons in English," and G. R. Carpenter, professor of Rhetoric and English Composition, Columbia university. This book is in reality two distinct works bound together. The first, upon language drill by the pupils is based upon the principle that writing is the most important means of securing facility in expression. The student is given constantly written exercises which are well graded, and are of two forms. The first is practice in supplying omitted words in sentences and paragraphs so as to make complete sense. The second consists of compositions stance of stories and poems, and imaginary writing about upon familiar subjects; giving in simple language the subpictures. Good directions are given respecting the details of writing, and punctuation. The second part of the book gives briefly the essentials of grammar, including a small amount of analysis of sentences good and the general appearance of the book attractive.

This volume is the last of a series of well-graded books on arithmetic. Beginning with a review of the essential parts of the lower books of the series, the books continue the treatment of percentage and its applications, and presents in a thoro manner the metric system, involution, evolution, and mensuration. The elementary principles of algebra are also presented with simplicity and clearness. Operations, explanations, and analyses are given in full. There are frequent review exercises thruout the book, adding much to the value of a work arranged on the topical plan. (American Book Company, New York,) A. W.

(University Publishing Company, New York. Price, $0.20.) The critics have had much to say about Longfellow's lack of originality and other literary qualities, yet the people go on reading his works. What does the critics' opinion avail, when an author has the public with him? Longfellow's work is pure, simple, sweet, especially that wonderful Song of Hiawatha. Children appreciate the beauty of the scenes and the verse, and hence the poem, on account of its dramatic action, is suitable for representation in school. Florence Holbrook has arranged it for this purpose. In preparing it some changes were necessary, mainly in the way of re-arrangement of the matter and the substitution of the first person for the third. Hiawatha, or Mudjekeewis, is made to tell his own story. The book has several illustrations, also songs set to music. Indian wearing apparel is pictured and described in an appendix; besides there is a pronouncing vocabulary of Indian names found in the poem.
