John JEROME. His Thoughts and
Ways" by Jean Ingelow. is a quaint little

moral or to literary greatness, is a very in
teresting little volume. Roberts Brothers,

1.-THE VOLCANO UNDER THE CITY,"
by a Volunteer Special. 1t is long time
since any writer has opened SO strangely
interesting a crypt in American history.
The nation at large has pretty much for
gOtten-if indeed it ever knew-thatit once
had a great riot in which more than 1.400
men were killed. 1t does not realize that
a mob once commended. through four success
sive days and nights, for the mastery of the
city of New York. The author of The
Volcano Under the City, was what was
known as Volunteer Special'-one of

holiday book for some one of the smaller
members of the family. Roberts Bros. are

OOOSlN L O4NSs ny lOdlLdC. lllO u dIIold-
ton published by Roberts Bros, is a book
which, while not commencing itself to the
average general reader. appeals very fOrci-
bly, to the student of literature, and espe-
cally to those who find the modern novel
lists too frivolous or too analytical for their
tastes. The greatest student of human
nature that even prolific France ever pro-
duced, his novels vividly reflect his keen
observations, and for that reason are warm
with human life and passion.

hour
