Seward (G. F.)-Chinese Immigration in its Social and Economical Aspects. 8vo. cloth, pp. xvi, and 420. With Plate. New York. 12s. 6d.

Takes up the Chinese question in all its various aspects, and offers reliable testimony against many prejudices. Considers fully the material results of Chinese labour in California; The number of Chinese in the United States; Objections which have been advanced against Chinese immigrants; Fears of an overflowing immigration of the Chinese. The result being (in the author's words), "I found that the Chinese had been of great service to the people of the Pacific Coast; that they are still needed there, but in a less important measure; that the objections which have been advanced against them are in the main unwarranted; and that the minor evils incident to their presence may be readily abated under existing treaties, and within the lines of ordinary legislation." Author, late United States Minister to China.

Mr. H. G. O. Blake, who furnishes an interesting introduction, says, "I hoped to make an interesting picture of the progress of the seasons of Thoreau's year. It was evidently painted with a most genuine love, and often apparently in the open air, in the very presence of the phenomena described, so that the written page brings the mind of the reader. as writing seldom does, into closest contact with nature, making him see its sights, hear its sounds, and feel very breath upon his cheek."

Timayenis (T. T.) History of Greece from Earliest Times to the Present. 2 vols. 12mo. cloth, pp. I. and 447, vi. and 445. With Maps and Illustrations. New York. 18s.

Author's Preface: "My purpose in this work has been to write abistory of Greece based as far as possible on the testimony of anthorities contemporary with the events narrated. While I cheerfully acknowledge my obligations to Gibbon and Grote-the most eminent of modern historians - a careful study of the Greek writers has led me to differ from them on many important matters; the peculiar feature of the present work, therefore, is that it is founded on Hellenic sources."
