A half hours ride from Boston brings one
to the beautiful banks of the Charles River
opposite Brighton where stands group Of
buildings bearing the above appellation, the
imprint of some of the finest books in the
world. When we learned that the French
Exposition awarded to this press the highest
medal given for book making in America we
were not surprised ard visit to-day confirms
the favorable impressions before received. We
will not speak in detail of the composing room
with its hundred pairs of busy hands; the
press room, " roaring, wbirling, flashing Nj
agara of printing; the warehouse with its
piles of costly leather, beautiful marbled paper
and other materials, nor the marvellous process
through which these pass until they emerge
into the forwarding rooms in their rich, sub.
staAtial dress ready for delivery. To appreciate
the magnitude Of operations one must look az
wehave to-day through this vast establishment.
Mr.. Houghton is fortunate in possessing rare
facilities in this business which reduce expense
and diminish the risk Of loss. About 800 per-
sons are employed. Special attention is paid
to illustrated works, and those in Syriac,
Greek and Hebrew, for which beautiful type
have been imported from the most celebrated
foundries Of Europe. The new Quarto Web
ster's Dictionary is manufactured here, having
the largest circulation, save the Bible, of any
book of its size ever published. Mr.. Scudder
has his office here as:editor of the Riverside
Magazine, the excellence and beauty Of which
are everywhere acknowledged. That this es-
tablishment is to win reputation equal to
any in our land is apparent to any one con-
versant with its past history, or the sure ele-
ments of which enter into its present sub
stantial success.

The YOUNG SHIP BUILDERS OF ELM ISLAND.
BY Rev. Elijah Kellogg, Boston: Lee &
Shepard, 1870.
Mr.. Kellogg needs no introduction to the
people OF Portland where his fathers name Is
still so freshly remembered and where so many
boys and girls have already enjoyed the pre-
vious volumes of the sons juvenile series. The
present number has the same vigorous tone
and the same unobtrusive but very positive
suggestion of the necessity for energy, perse-
verance and hopefulness for all who desire
outward success !or inward content. As q
story it is bright and entertaining, and possess
es ore element, which-unless children are
very unlike what they were in our own young
days-is very attractive for young people, q
sort of Robinson Crusoe-like minuteness of
detail, and clearness of description, which
puts the reader in medias res in a very satis-
factory manner. For instance, while Charlie
is evolving boat out of his moral conscious
ness, we feel that we are present as his obsta-
cies are one by one surmounted, and that, hav-
ing thoroughly sympathized with and assisted
him in building, We are entitled to sail on
the first trip of the little vessel Also we
know SO we'll just how Fred's shop was stock
ed jSthat we should be able to hll out his orders
for him with ease. We are sure that the boys
who are not given over beyond redemption to
bloodthirsty stories of pirates and highway
men, will find much to enjoy in following tho
fortunes of the Young Shipbuilders.
"Life and Alone" from the same publish
ing house, is probably not intended for
iunevile work, although the heroine
commences what we may venture to technically
denominate her "tantrums'' at the age of
twelve when she falls in love at first sight, in
dulges in rhapsodical reveres before an open
closet door and enters into state of misan-
thropic isolation worthy of more advanced
age. AS she grows older the plot thickens, tho
relationships becomes sufficiently intricate to
allow of the most tragic complications over
which all the drdnaatis personae walk rough
shod, the heorine meanwhile freeing her mind,
to the "open closet door," and to the people
about her, with more frankness than elegance.
The old philosophical axiom that there is no eff
feet without clause, is left completely in the
lurch, and we have to trust entirely to the au-
thor's veracity to make things hang together
at all. Take it for all in all it is an extraordna-
~ production, but those whom it does not edi'
II 1t may possibly amuse. We wonder why 1t
was written and whether the author felt better
when she-we think we run no risk in select
ing onr pronoun-had got it fairly of her mind.
But this sort of surprise comes so often in these
days, at sight of the crowded shelves Of the
bookstores, that we end by wondering why we
continue to wonder. Perhaps it was only the
infection in the air that caused "Ljfe and
Alone" to spring into being, and we will not
bsgrudge it a harmless existence and a fair
share OF sentimental and not hyper-critical
readers. NJ. j. M s.
