The first OF these volumes brings the His.
tory of American Literature from 1907 to
1876: the second from 1877 to 17G5. The
author is not widely known, and his work
must bear the test of scrutiny before well.
informed opinion can be pronounced upon
it. The publishing part of the work is en-
celent, and Messrs. PUTNAM must secure fol
themselves the highest commentator FOL
its execution. AS work of art it is worthy
of any library. We always look at the style
OF publication as one evidence OF the. light

and they are excellent Judges OF the merit

Social Etiquette Of ,Ne,o Yorac. New
+. York: D. APPLETON & Co. IT,
This is an emanation of New York con-
ceit. That city is, afflicted with the cancer
of .self-complacence This book is. one of
the out-croppings Of that disease. All the
party gabbIers Of New York are considered
great, men OF the nation. Every sensation
there is considered the g biggest thing" OF
the day, and the whole world is expected to
stand still while some mystery in the
Gotham OF pride and folly IS nnravelled. So
now somebody tanks that New York Ell
auette should rule the land, and gives us
some account of it, Now, frankly we
would respect the dictum Of the refined and
elegant ladies Of Few Orleans ten times
more than Ss would the Judgment Of. the
fashionable !shoddies of Gotham, and we
speak not daotefrankay Enthusiastically.
Still people Uiil want to see whatthis New
York etiquette says. Nessrs. WEST, jolly
sroS& Co. have it for sass. I -: ..ylss.s7 .@f
