TWELVE MILES FROM LEMON: By Gail Hamil-
ton New York, Harper s. Bros. Portland, Lor-
ing, Short s. Harmon.
The curious title of this book is probably
taken from the familiar story of Sidney Smith,
who describes his home in Yorkshire, as be-
ing so far out of the world, as to actually be
"twelve miles from a lemon" and conse-
quently from the other elements of lunch and
civilization. Miss Dodge has collected in this
volume number OF bright, humorous sketch
es and essays, mostly relating to the delights,
discomforts, and other accompanlments Oh
life, in the more remote suburbs OF Boston.
The volume is not one advocating any great
mission as we feared it might be. when we
first took it up, but is simply collection of
witty and audacious gossip, touching upon
numberless topics, and showing up many of the
evils of the day in sarcastic manner, which
only serves to impress them the more forcibly
upon the mind. We have met with many of
the papers here collected in the popular mag
azines of the day which fact however renders
them none the less welcome or entertaining
in their new form.
THREADING MY WAY. By Robert Dale Owen. New
York: G. w. Carleton q Go, Portland: Bailey &
| Noyes.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Howells, the edi-
| tor of the Atlantic Monthly, these papers
| were written as serial for that magazine !;
i where they were resolved with such favor as
to warrant their publication in book form, in
which shape they are a most excellent auto
biography of that well known writer, Robert
Dale Owen. His many and varied life expe-
riences are here given in that charming style
SO peculiarly his own; there is also much of
that qusint and original argumentative spec
u!ation for which he is so noted. There are
at present few books in the market having
more genuine literary worth in them than
this OF Mr.. Owens, and we recommend it to
our friends as worthy their attention.
