We are indebted to Mr. JoHN RUSSELL for an ele-
CANT copy Of this manual of devotion. Mr., sTRA-
HANS publications are always choice specimens OF
Typography, and the work before us partakes OF
that excellency to high degree. OF the character
Of the book f is unnecessary to speak, as that is
sufficiently indicated by the title, and the name of
Dean Afford sure guaranty for the faithful exc
) cution OF, the task he has assigned himself.

That this remarkably heavy not to say stupid
story should have been originally published in the
New York Weekly Herald would seem surprising,
but still more the fact that after this opportunity
had been given discerning public, the story
should have been deemed worthy Of being reprint
ed in book form TO ell its imperfectlons of style,
taIneness Of conception, and general plahtudes,
there eissuperadded an intolerable number of typo
graphical errors, more than we have ever seen in
, book issued by respectable publishing house.
The work has 85S pages ; and there is an average
ns Ave errors on every page, making In all there
fore 1765 typographical mistakes. Among them
NE ha ,such pnpardonahle blunders as.s seeing the
same page printed in two successive forms, etc.
Are HnroN 81 Co. too poor to employ proofreader.
The author may not be many way responsible
for t6ese peccadillos. Indeed it is to be hoped he
is not, as he has quite enough on his shoulders
oven WITHOUT the printers blunders. The New
York iHernld. IN its ADVERTISING notice announced
the story as performance worthy Of IRVING or
CoopER. This, to say the very least, is being far
from aattering to, either, OF those two venerable
American writer's. But inStruth the book is be-
meath criticism, and We win say no more OF it. ~
