Every lover of English literature
will feel sense of obligation to 81.
E. b. the editor. and Messrs. Lee &
Shepard, the publishers, of this de-
ligh.ful little book. Next to Charles
Lamb there is none of his contem-
poraries who shares his charming
graces of expression and quaint
winsomeness of notion like Leigh
Hunt. This collection is quite sup
Elemental to Hunts 81 Men, Women
and Books" and will be new to the
general reader. Taking into account
its welcome eeniality of tone and

The title of this handsome octave
fully reveals its character and pur-
pose. 1t is marked Humorous

This is another tight little volume
built in conformity with the admir-
able fashion, just beginning to be
made popular, of printing the first
editions of new books on heavy,
substantial paper, and binding them
in an attractive style. These pages
are almost like drawing paper, SO
firm and "toothsome" are they. As
to the matter of it, it is Of pecu-
liarly crisp and spicy style-Yankee
girl like-and relates to those OBJ +,
iects of interest in Great Britain ~
C,.. -.u
On 'ne oon'' Int Of which every ,
body writes, but which rather gain
than lose in interest Of narration the
more they are nell written Of. A
cursory glance at these handsomely
printed pages satisfies us that the
good bit of heraldlng which has pre-
ceeded Miss Trafton's book conveyed ,
little if any exaggeration of its real .
merits. The moral of it is that an I
self-respectfu1, self-reli-
ant young woman with no soft illu-
sive nonsense to mis-guids her, may
lust about Is we'll make the grand
tour alone as to wait for somebody
10 act as her guide and protector.
