Popular and Instructive.

The most recent work by Mr.. E. W. Daw-
son, residing at 253 Orange street, this city,
proves to obtain wide popularity. 1t is en-
titled sIsles of the Sea, y and is a handsome
ly printed and bound work Of about 700
pages with SO illustrations. The reader
learns much of what is most important to
know regarding the chief islands of the
world, while the information is impaired in
the form of romantic story of the travels
of professor of New England college and
two young graduates of the college. The
trio make the tour of the world in an elegant
steam yacht, and bequite the time in con-
versing about the islands as they pass them
in review. Their journey is made in prose
cutting their quest for missing relative, the
finding of whom, or the proof of his death,
will result in an important financial gain to
the alma mater of the travellers Tne stocy
is very pleasingly told, and the book is very
readable, as might be expected fIom the sue
cess of the author in Lis chosen field of labCr.
The aim OF the book, which it veIy success
fully accomplishes, is to furnish ia one work
reliable and useful Information about all tie
p1 il -ipal isles of the sea, coupled with many
illustrations, and the whole forming pleas
ing and instl dctive volume. The idea of the
| work was suggested to the author duri-l g an
extended course of foreign travel made by
him in recent years.
