Choice and Animated Pieces for Declama-
ton in Reading. Selected and Adapted
by LOOMS j. CAMPBELL and OREN RooT,
Jr. Boston LEE d SHEPARD.
This is curious little book. We do not
know whether to like it or not. 1t contains
the most perfect mixture of authorities we
have yet seen. We see among them CHAN.
MING, and ALICE CAREY, and THEODORE PAR
KER, and TALMAGE, and HEADLLY; and then
we see CALHOUN, and MoDUFF1E, and JOIN
BRIGHT. We also see DICKENS, and JOHN B.
Cough, and BEEcHER, and BURRITT, and
VICTOR HUGO. Also, MAcAULEY, and Kos
sUTH. and SUMNER, and SCHURz. How the
cover holds these hostile elements together
we could hardly imagine. But so it is,
