The Book OF The FEET-ByJ Sparks Hci-

ham limo. pp. PIG The announcement of this book
somewhat puzzled u.s. Books purporting to be Of the
head that would do small credit to the fee, were COM
mon enough-one scarcely could go ami.' in search Of
them. But veritabe book of the ts,tone that took
such loo round-thst in this chivalrous Nineteenth
tury when wars sanctioned and defended even by
Christian men, could assume position so humble gave
rise to queries in our mind. What could 1t bel 1t
proved complete lock on our understanding and we
resolved to await its appearance Now that it has been
on our table for days and we hs been tempted
to glide through ii, pages qr-ies are solved And
10 be serious constrained 10 say that contains
much that well calculated interest and instruct It
in short complete history Of the various coverings for
the feet from the earliest ages to the presen. time
Commencing with the sandal Of the early Egyptian, Its
various changes in style through succeeding generations
are recounted. And the sandal OF palm and shoes or
low boots Of the Greek-ihe soss of the Roman--,he
nzn OF SaAOu--Luc uh4lOOOt VI NOT
man. and the costly shoe of the early Monarchs Of Eng
land are all made familiar TO the curious reader And
tracing the history down to the present time the interest
Of our fair readers is excited to learn the style Of shoe
in which the gentle Victoria goes tripping the road
to health. And our author if eager to crafty their
curiosity is explicit this point and informs that
il in no other than the neat and tidy elastic shoe re-
csntly brought into notice. He also informs that the
Countess of Blessington, Mrs s. C. Hall and other Ia
dies of literary fame patrons Of this shoe. Hence
forth Il cannot but become the only popular with
our ladies' here for II not be that sovereigns
appear ess beautiful with shoes than their fair sister
the bonnie Queen of Britain.
Appended to the book brief sketches OF the lives
Of some who from the cordwainers bench have at.
tanned to positions Of emnencc and become the pride
and ornament Of their country.
Altogether Mr. Hall has given US book ul OF inter
