The Life and Letter of Thomas Gold Ap- pleton, prepared by Susan Hale, have been published. For this work only such pas sages have been selected as should give the thread of MT. Appleton's life and present some idea of the wide circle of it's observa- tion ard it's sympathies. A full collection of his letters is not given. Everything of pri- vate nature is omitted and the detailed ac- count of buildings, picture galleries and scenery of foreign lands was set down for the benefit of untraveled friends at home. MT. Appleton left ample journals of his earlier travels, and it is chiefly from these, together with his letters to his father from abroad that the present work was compiled. These journals and letters are plentifully scattered with the graceful verse in which his poetical thoughts were expressed. MT. Appleton was also an accomplished artist, and many hours have been devoted by him to the use of the brush and pencil. As the work is prepared it cannot fail to be of interest to all who are interested in the advocates and workers in all schemes for the adornnent and improve ment of society. D.
