REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.


FAIR PLAY: OR, THE TEST OF TIE LONE ISLE,
BY Mrs. Emma d. e. N. Southworth. Pub.
lished by 7. b. Peterson & Brothers.
This novel was originally published in the
New York Ledger under different title. The
present name has been adopted by Mrs. South
worth as an antithesis to s'Foul Play" and
although she rather elaborately exonerates
Mesers. Reade and Boucicault from the charge of
plagiarism, 1t is suggestive Of the idea that
she demands fair play for her own production
at the hands of the public. Mrs. Southworth
claims that her work was published in the
London Journal in 1866 and 1866; that "Foul
Play was first published in 1868; and that the
situation Of the shipwrecked lovers on soh-
tary island, (Which has been called the most
beautiful and original part OF each story" ori-
ginated with her.
Those who will read the two stories will
scarcely consider the authors of "Foul Play"
as guilty of plagiarism. They may or may not
have borrowed the idea from Mrs. Southworth,
but beyond the bare idea there is scarcely
pything in common between the island life of
the lovers in the two books. The characters
and the whole manner of treating the subjsot
are es Sc ntially different. Mrs. Southworth's
story is interesting, but it seems to us that
there is little humbuggery in her choice of
title.
From Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfnger we
have received "The Hand of Jesus" by Rev.
J. Chaplin, D. D. Published by Andrew T.
Graves, Boston. This is collection of reli-
gious medltations in prose and verse, which
will doubtless find appreciative readers. The
volume is handsomely printed and bound.
From the same house we have received
Charles Wentworth Dilke's "Greater Britain"
published by Harper & Brothers. We noticed
the Lippincott edition Of this work few
weeks ago, and it is therefore only necessary
for us to commend it at this time as an inte-
resting record of travel by an Englishman
who knew how to divest himself of his insular
prejudices, and to use his eyes and ears for
the discovery of facts upon which to base
his speculations. Mr.. Dilke's account of the
United States is particularly worthy of atten-
ton, for it is written in fair and impartial
spirit that other English travellers would do
well to initiate.
--"Oscar Bertrand' is the title of novel by
Miss M. L. Braddon, published by Robert NJ.
Dewitt, New York. 1t is written in the usual
Braddonian style, and there is no likelihood
thati it will lack admirers.

A very little boy, after giving everybody
goodnight kiss, kueeed at his mothers side to
say his evening prayer. His mother had that
day been teaching him the piece commencing
You'd scarce expect one of my age" ETC., and
it appears that these ver:es were running in his
mind. He commenced the prayer as follows:-
Now lay me down TO sleep, pray the Lord
my soul 10 keep; if should chance to fall
below Demosthe henes CT Cicero, don't view me
with a crcket's eye" stop, stop !" said his
mother; that isn't a part of the prayer" eyes
it is," the little fellow replied; "yes, 1t Is,
mamma; don't view me with a cricket's eye."

Frer rchman recently visiting New York was

When Theodore Hook was asked for dona-
ton to the Society for the Conversion of the
Jews, he replied that he had no money to give
away; but If they sent him a Jew, he would try
and convert him. This was not quite what the
Society required, and Hook never heard from
them again.
