d. Appleton & Co. publish The Mastery
Series Manual for Learning Spanish, by
Thomas Prendcrgrast. This presents a new
method of learning foreign language. Gram
mar is entirely excluded, and the pupil enters
at once upon the speaking of sentences, imi-
tating his teacher, and depending upon his
memory to retain what it can, and in this way
master the language for him. Possibly one
may acquire the pronunciation and idiomatic
use of language better in this way than by
the old, and this is the object of the method.
The study of the principles is to follow.

From the Appletons we have volume new
ly issued, entitled The Natural Speaker, of
which DIR. Joseph Alden of the New York
State Normal School, is the author. The Sc
lections in this book are carefully made, and
generally of character not so passionate as
those usually found in our Speakers. Dia-
logues are omitted entirely. 1t will be found,
we have no doubt, very useful book for
students in high schools and colleges, reliev
ing them of the difficulty under which they |
too often labor of finding. nothing suitable for

The New England News Company of Bos-
ton, has published new work called Behind
the Scenes-A Story of the Stage. 1t is not
only vivid description of things behind the
scenes, but thrilling tale of human woes,
disappointments, struggles and triumphs, and
an effort to remove the feeling of opposition
which exists to the stage, holding that the
better attendance and patronage of re-
spectacle and christian people would elevate
the stage and remove from it the evils which
they condemn.
