WOMANS RECORD By SARAH JOSEPH, HALE. svo.
PIP. SEA. Harper Brothers.
Acomprehensivevolume containing sketches
of the distinguished women Of all ages from
Mother Eve to Queen Victoria. 1t comprises
about two thousand five hundred names, giving
copious biographical notices Of their subjects,
with selections from the writings of those who
have been distinguished in literature. IL is
work of great labor and research,-th nara
tive portions have been evidently prepared with
pains-taking dilgence-but the private opinions
of the editress, which are out of placein work
of this character, are too often Obtruded on
the reader. The portraits of several of the
women recorded in this volume are given some
of them being good lkenesses aud well engrav-
ed, while not few are mere caricatures. AS
a standard book of reference, the volume will
doubtless be found to possess great merit. en-
titling the industrious edtress to the thanks of
the reading public. We give specimen Of its
quality in an article on woman who has OBJ
tanned some celebrity in Germany, as an advO-
cate of Woman's Rights.
