CHRIsTIE's FAITH" by the author o
Brothers. Cincinnati: r. w. Clarke q
Co. y "a =
The author. of Christie's Faith, very
successfully attempts to portray scenes
in life among the outcasts of Lon
don. a field heretofore almost entire
ly monopolized by Mr.. Dickens. The
story shows careful study of the
characters it attempts to delineate,
and has enough of the tragic and pa
thetic in it to move the hearts of those
who read it. There is nothing low or
coarse in the book, and the moral is
unexceptionable. Its purpose is to
show that juvenile delinquents, who
have been surrounded by evil 'influ-
ences, may be reclaimed and finally be
made useful and honorable members
of society," ItGis exceedingly diff
cult, in this age of book making, to
furnish readers with something so
original asu to contain nothing they
never heard of before, and i"Chris-
ties Faith, 4 cannot be said to have
secured that result. Yet it is a book
of more than ordinary merit, and we
recommend 4 it to lovers of fiction.

By many, David Copperfe d is re-
garded as Mr.. Dickens's master piece.
By everybody it is admired and
praised. hepeculiarities of its vari-
Gus characters are familiar even to
those who have never read the story,
and their sayings have become pro-
verbs among all classes of people. The
printing of David Copperfeld's his
tory in so cheap, and yet so neat, a
form will add greatly to the number
of his acquaintance and friends. 1t

ARD Pu0%OGRAPHY.-N York: |
Andrew j. Graham. rols ftt4
The necessity of photographic writ
ing is becoming more apparent every
year. The time required to perform
a small amount of writing in the or
binary way is SO great, that business
men, and especially editors and law
yers, who have much of it to do, have
generally and almost invariably sael
rifced legibility to speed. The Chi
of a majority of the editors
and lawyers is most abominable, and
has occasioned a great many ludicrous,
and not few exceedingly unpleasant,
mistakes. Photography, as ex-
planned and laid down by Mr.. Gra-
ham in his Hand, Book, is within the
reach of all who feel an interest in
information that may re-
lieve them of much drudgery in their
callings in life, and ought
to become more familiar to the peo-
pie. Newspaper men ought to un-
derstand Photography, and we think
the day is rapidly coming when Re-
porters anG Editors will find their sit
nations contingent upon knowledge
of short hand writing.
Mr.. Graham's book is adapted to
the school-room and Academy, and |
might, with great profit to the pupils, 1
take the place of some studies to
which they now devote considerable at
tention. FULL, CONCISE and PHILo-
sopHICAL in its development of the
