At Last; A Christmas in the West Indies. By
Charles Kingsley. New York Harper & Bros.
Somewhat exuberant, after the wont of this
writer; somewhat overmuch of the moralizing
tone, betraying the preacher, the book is vet a
highly interesting description of three months
trip to the West Indies. 1t is fully and satisfac-
tOrily illustrated.
Shakspeare's Comedy of the Tempest Ed
tied with notes by VIM. j. Rolfe, A. NJ. New
York: Harper & Bros. This is brought out

thought in the notes, as characterized the pre-

King Arthur. novel. BY Edward Bulwer
Lytton New York: Harper & Bros. Tenny-
sons vivid poetic Illustrations of the legendary
King and his Court have put Bulwers poem on
the same subject out OF mind, though IL was first
published in 1913, when only the first of Mr..
Tennyson's series, "MOrte d'Arthur" had ap-
peared The interest created i'm the subject by
Iennyson's poems will cause Bulwer's ''King
Arthur" now reproduced, to be generally read
u ne story OF the poem does not rely on the my
thical romances ~ the Round Table, but is en-
tirely original, and is put in the shape of con-
tlnuous narrative poem preserving unity of
action. The treatment is more familiar than
TennysOn's, and an attempt at sprighty humor
is made to a considerable extent.

falaces anu frisOns by Mrs. Ann >. stephens

years. Most Of them have ALTERS alive titles a.
Fashion and Famine" Z" Silent Struggles"
" Mabel's Mistake" and now Palaces and
Prisons" Probably they may have some other
merits or attractions, as the Petersons, who know
what they are about, seem to find 1t worth their
while to publish them as fast as she writes them
From the publishers, w. H. s. o. H. Morrison,
of this city:
Gynecology; or Treatise on Midwifery and
Physical Ailments of Women and Children. Bv
Joseph Theophilus Howard, Nj. D., member OF
the Medical Society and Association of Washing
ton. The writer holds that there is now no work
extant adapted to the present advanced state of
medical knowledge, save some exclusively pro-
fessional, and has aimed to supply the want,
especially in view Of the fact that in the ayidity
with which information is sought in regard &,
domestic medicine the public Is so badly duped
by ignorant charlatans. This compact little work
perspicuously presents a large amount OF infor-
matt, n on the subjects treated and in a chaste
clear style fitting it for popular use.
