How COULD He HELP IT? or the Heart trium-
ant; by A. l.. Roe. Author Of - I've
been thinking d" A long look head -
New York, Derby & jackson, 1860.
The title Of this book is poor imitation OF
Bulwer's poor title .. What will he do with
it," neither Of which furnishes any clue to
what the work is about, any more than any
other five or six words would. In Mr.. Roe's
case, as well as Bulwer's, the book Is much
better than the title.
The story of the book before US has its To-
cation in New York City and vicinity A
great many characters are introduced into
it, some very well defined that Of the old
accountant, Mr.. BIagg, is very good, and,
on the whole, to our taste, the most piquant
one in tHe book. Herbert Jones must be ia
ken as the hero Of the book, and he appears
well in the line Of life where the author has
placed aim. OF course, he is made to act
like fool in an important part Of hIs love
career-( lit is rulea Die in novels that all heroes
should do sO)-but no matter for that He
got married to the right one at last, in spite
Of perverse aunts, ra-cally guardian, and
crotchety and tyrancal school-mistresses, &c.
&c The love-making part Of the book gen
orally Is not as well done as the rest of it, and
there is a good deal Of unnecessary compli-
cation in the story, and some parts of it are
common place The hook is quite readable,
and its pervading tone is every way whole
some.

author of Plea for ADJUSTMENTS. Boston
Walker, Wise & Co. 1860.
Plenty of Hts, and hard and sharp ones,
too. not many HINTS, except of the sort
which the chap got who was kicked down
stairs by way of insinuation that his compa-
ny was not wanted. The titles of few of
the fifty short chapters in the book, taken
ust as they stand, will give one q fair nos
ton of it. Here are the first half dozen
How to make Millionaires;" Whim

ais" d" The late Capt. Fume - Hints
for promoting Juvenile Depravity ;" Gan

Of Soap and Water &c.
The author has his pen well sharpened
with satire, yet those who find themselves
pricked by it, may, perchance, in good
many cases, be the better in the end, if they
are thereby set to thinking-even when the
longer they think the less they agree with
him. A good many of his criticisms on men,
manners, &c, are well-grounded.
