THR Delaware w ATER GAR. BY l.. w Brod-
head. sherman Son; Philadelphia.
The romance which surrounds the Della
ware Water Gap, its legends and its scenery,
form an excellent groundwork for book.
Mr.. Brodhead, a lifelong resident of the vici-
nifty, one who is well acquainted with all its
beauties and all its romantic stories, has nm
dertazen the task, and has succeeded admira-
bly, in giving to the public most interest
ing volume. He tells its tales with simplicity
and excellent effect. His descriptive powers
are Of the first order, and by the aid of a num-
Der of photographs taken from nature, and
which are both truthful and artistic, gives
the reader a correct idea of the beauties of the
locality. 1t is handsomely bound, and should
be read by all who desire to have a good
idea of one of the beauties of our native State.
We have received large number of new
editions of Dickens works, several of the
Globe, two of the Diamond, and one of the
Authors Edition. OF the merits of the various
sets we have already spoken, and can now
only express our satisfaction that the demand
for each has been sufficient to warrant the CON
tinuation of its series.
We have received from D. Ashmead, No.
724 Chestnut street, a copy of the latest sensa-
tion, "Caste" 1t is an extremely readable
work. and is well advertised by the play which
is derived from its plot. 1t is as good as any
novel we have recently seen.
-Challen, No. 1908 Chestnut street, has
sent us Littell's Lining Age, which maintains
all of its high reput, ton as a frst-class peri
| odical.
