Wandering Recollections Of Somewhat Busy
Life, an autobiography, by John Neal Rob-

This book Of Mr.. Meals is well described by
the title. 1t is full OF the best things done and
spoken by our author-friend, and will be read
with great interest by host of literary men
who have long known him both here and in
Europe.
But we fancy it will be better appreciated
by his contemporaries at home, since it dwells
largely upon home scenes, and in great de-
gree is the recollection of many Portland
boy beside the author. We hope to ind room
for some extracts ere long. Meantime let us
commend the work to our readers. 1t is full o.

Walter Savage Landor, Biography, by John
Foster, Fields, Osgood & Company, Boston
This is a great book, as well as large one
Its 700 pages are brimming full Of good things
in the life of this popular man. 1t is one Of
the most valuable contrit utions TO English lit
erature which this latter age of books has
made, and it win be sought for as are few
modern biographies. We cannot think of one
book Of its kind which could promise more to
the lover of literature, as we cannot think of
one modern representative of English author
ship who has contributed more to the aggre-
gate sum of that literature. 1t is a glorious
book. Bailey & Noyes have it.
