their already valuable rcprints-namcly TINS
BRIrIsu QUARTERLY, the whoie four numbers Of
which for the year 1871 will be furnished to sub
scrbers, thus giving the January number gratis.
FOURTEEN TO FouRscoRE, by Mrs. s. W Jewett.
lIurd Houghton New York
As It's name imports, this volume is life his
tory Of its author, originally in the form Of a
diary or journal, but finally wrought into ,ther
readable novel. The authoress claims 10 have
been induced to write the rather uneyentfule ents
Of her life chiefly to please granddaughter who
in ransacking an old library had brought to ight
journal " which had lain mouldering On an
upper shelf for years" As might be expected
the pages Of the volume do not present much that
is exciting out Of the ordinary course Of things
The story is simply told, and will probably find
appreciative readers
