author of "The Romance of Poor Young
Man." etc., has been translated by J. Henry
Hager, and is published in paper covers by
D. Appleton & Co. The beginning and end
are thrown into journal form. The two ways
may operate are well exposed. The figure of
Aliette is not SO strongly drawn as the 9th
ers, though she can be perfectly understood.
Sabine is unnatural, but the result is what
we should expect. The story is that of a
hero who has two wives, an angel and not
angel. The book is a well aimed thrust at
''Nodernity" and hits its mark with force.

Triumphant Democracy, or Fifty Years
March of the Republic" by Andrew Carne-
gle, is book whose fame has preceded it.
The author was ''born subject of the mon
archy and adopted citizen of the republic -
and therefore is a lover of both lands. He
has tried to show something of what the re-
public really is and thus to remove the mis-
conceptions which still linger in the minds
of many in Britain. The book gives juster
estimate than prevails in some quarters OF
the political and social advantages which the
American people possess over the people of
other lands The author makes us to regard
with reverence and affection our institutions
as we'll as the great parent people from whom
we once were separated. The volume is SO
filed with information that one concludes
that he knew nothing about America before
he has half finished it. The work is invalu-
able as book of reference for all questions
pertaining to the conditions and progress of
our land Charles Scribner's Sons, publish

of Dean" by Lawrence Severn. The author
of this story aims in its construction to give
picture of certain phases of religious life
in England forty years ago, when remote
parts of the country were as much behind
the civilization of to-day as they were in the
days of Elizabeth. The book gives a story
of some dissenters. Through chain of cir
cumstances the son of a well-to-do English
dissenter is brought in contact with the rec
tor of the established church, who is a man
of strong character and whose influence is of
the greatest Importance in shaping the life
and strengthening the character of the young
man. The story is told with skill and the
lessons to be drawn from it are very plain.
