Enough has been given to show the spirit of

SUNNY HOUR LIBRARY. BY Nellie Eyster
Dufueld Ashmead.
In these volumes we have series of plea
sanity written stories for children, not savor-
ing of the grotesque, like the "Fairy Series"
They are all simple little tales of everyday
life, and so charmingly told as to delight the
little readers. Their style is pure, their
morals are unexceptionable, while the interest
is kept up in each. Mr.. Ashmead deserves
much credit for thus laying before us such a
rare and choice selection of just the class Of
books which are wanted as Christmas presents
for the little ones. The "Sunny Hour
Library is handsomely and substantially
bound, and is well illustrated.
THE ECONOMICAL HOME AND Cook Book. BY
Elizabeth Nicholson, Philadelphia: ID. Ash
mead, No. 724 Chestnut street.
This is the sixth edition of this standard
work of household literature. 1t is filed with
over five hundred receipts for the manufacture
of the dainties Of the table, which we can ap-
preciate, if we cannot judge of their prepara-
tion. That it has gone through six editions
is the best evidence of its value. We would
not be so presumptuous as to venture to ex-
press an opinion as to its merits, but only
state that it has high reputation, which it
seems to deserve. 1t is published in a cheap
form for daily use.
ANTI-SLAYERY ADDRESSES IN 1914 AND 1S45.
By Salmon p. Chase and Charles D. Cleave-
GLAND. Philadelphia: j. A. Bancroft & Co., No.
5l2 Arch street.
These addresses, delivered nearly quarter
of a century ago, show how far both these
gentlemen were ahead of their times, and
prove Mr.. Chase statesman of keen discern
ment, and one with fixed love of liberty,
for in those days it was not considered a
fashionable thing to be an abolitionist. But
he stood up then boldly for his principles. The
work is of peculiar interest at the present
time, and will doubtless have a large sale,
as it deserves, for it is political curiosity.
