BIMBI. Stories for Children. By ouIpA Phlla-
delphia; j, b. Lippincott & Co. Washington
The nine stories in this book are all interesting,
and will be read eagerly by children. In them
Ouida has shown her versatility by adapting the
plot and characters as well the language to the
comprehension of children. There is in some
perhaps too great wealth of description, which
In her novels Is attractive from its vivdness and
close attention to detail, but there is enough else
to attract the young and make the book decidedly
popular.
WILD H1AClNTH, a novel. by MIS- RAM
DoLPH, author of "Gentlnnella" &c, Philadel.
phia: J. B. Lipplncott & Co. Washington !;
James j. Chapman.
A book which can be read with profit as It is
free from the taint Of impuritv that forms the
basis of too many of the modern novels. The plot,
though not striking, is sufficient for the purpose,
and the Characters of the story well drawn and
skilfully developed. II is really an excellent
book, with a moral of unexcepuonable tendency,
and its decided success so far fully Jusufes the
commendation 1t has received generally.
