BOOK NOTICES.
| KINGS OF CAPITAL AND KINGS OF LABOR, by
Rev. john Mcdowell Leavitt. D. D., Presi-
dent of Lehgh University. John 5. Whitley
Publishing Company, New York.
This is an elegantly bound volume of
6l3 pages. The typographical appearance
of the work is excellent.
This work is not, as its name would
seem to indicate, an essay on capital and
labor. 1t is true that the author manages
to present his ideas on capital and labor,
but he does it by clothing them in fasci-
mating fiction.
The work deals with things that are
close to the popular heart, and with which
the masses OF the people are familiar, and
so interestingly is it all done that it is
! with difficulty that the book is put aside
after having been taken up. The interest
of the work increases from page TO page.
and there is feeling of regret when the
| last page ia reached.
In the series of tales which are present
/ ed there are many striking incidents and
many dramatic situations. The author
says that his object is TO accomplish good.
His statement will generally be accepted
by those who read what he has written in
/ this volume.
One of the features OF the book is the IL
! Illustrations. They are numerous and very
/ fine.
! THE ANGLERS GUIDE BOOK. Compiled and
edited by William e. Harris, editor Ameri-
can Angier. y mo, 2SS pages; bound in cloth
and gold, p'ice 81. The Anglers Publish
| ing Company, 252 Broadway, Kew York.
In this work the author has endeavored
to make plain to the angling reader, resi-
| dent in any section, the perplexity expert
| enced in the identification of a fish under
! its local name, varying in different locali-
! ties. In few instances he has been I'M
able to do this and has called for informa-
ton from anglers familiar with the fishes
! and the waters where peculiar names for
! the former are in use. This confusion eX-
| lists more generally in the Southern States,
| particularly for the local names of the salt
water FISH on the Atlantic coast belt, from
the mouth of the Chesapeake bay to the
! southern limit of the State of Georgia;
! also, for the fresh water fishes in the
States of Virginia, West Virginia. North
! Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennes-
| see. The book possesses all the informa-
ton that those seeking fishing places can
! possibly desire.
