Edmund Gosse M. A. Clarke, lecturer in
English literature at Trinity college, Cam
bridge. is the author of ''Raleigh" in the
"English Worthless" edited by Andrew Lang.
This work is the first in which the fresh mat
ter brought forward by Edward Edwards
and James Augustus St. John has been col
lated. Each of these added very much to
our knowledge of Raleigh. This book is also
the first attempt which has been made to
portray Raleigh's personal career disengaged
from the general history of his time. 1t
contains numerous small data which have not
before been published, and many facts of
considerable Importance which have been left
out of the former lives The author deals
with Raleigh, bringing in events only as they
are connected with him and are of impor-
tance in that connection. The volume is di-
vided into ten chapters, which give the land
marks and intervening history of Raleigh's
life. D. Appleton & Co., publishers, New
York. For sale in this city by Judd the
bookseller.
"Won by Waiting" novel by Edna Ly-
all, author of donovan" i" "We Two," ETC.,
is charming work. The deans daughters,
especially the learned Cordelia, are characters
true to life A little French heroine endures
the cold hospitality of these sisters for a
time and at last wins their affections.
Throughout the book there is woven thread
of love- the lesson of which is that marriage
is not after all the all of life. The author
has made good story, strong throughout.

''The Two Spies, Nathan Hale and John
Andre" by Benson J.Lossing, LII. D., is a
the most important events in the life-career
of these spies, who were of note in our war
for independence. Both were young men,
we'll educated, brave soldiers and beloved
by all who knew them in private life. Yet
one NAV be spy and at the same time a
man of lofty honor. The book moves on
the principle that it is the motive which
gives true character to the deed; when the
motive is merely mercenary one the deed is
dishonorable; and when it is the lofty one of
a desire to serve country or race the act is
most honorable. The motives of these two
spies are given by themselves. Hale said:
'iI wish to be useful. If the e1igencies of
my country demand peculiar service its
claims to the performance of that service are
imperious" Andre avowed that in his work
all he sought twas military glory, the ap-
plause of his king and country and perhaps
a brigadiership.' The development of these
two characters in these lines is interesting
and profitable. The volume is illustrated
with pen and ink sketches d. Appleton &

true picture of what persecution can pro-

Erica is beautifully sketched and that of her
father, Luke Raeburn, is grand study. The
