IS cents. Of all the volumes which annually
come to delight the hearts of the little peo-
pie of the nursery not one brings out hear
tier shout Of welcome than Babyland. The
publishers, from long experience, have
come to understand pretty accurately what
the babies like to look at in the way of pic
lures, and what they like to have read to
them in the way of stories. And that is why
Babyland is what it is, and why it appeals so
strongly to little eyes and little ears. Baby
landfor 1888 is as beautiful outside as it is
inside. and the two covers, front and back,
with their pictures in color of the babies
blowing bubbles and the babies going to bed,
furnish material for nc end of pleasant stories
to ingenious papas and mammas. The Nur-
sery Finger plays" the STORY of the Boofer
Kitten and the no end of calf, and cat, and
rat stories, with their comical illustrations,
which make up the contents, constitute
series of attractions that would be sought for
in vain elsewhere.

Our citizens will be interested in 1.-The
Boy Broker a most entertaining and in
structive book for boys. by Frank A. Mum
sey of New York. Mr.. Munsey was for
merly resident of Augusta, and for sew
erai years manager of the Western Union
telegraph office here. His tastes, however,
were decidedly in the direction of literature
and he finally gave up tclegraphy to accept
the editorship Of the "Argosy," weekly
magazine for .foung people. Under Mr..
Munsey's management this magazine has
attained a high reputation and very large
circulation. Mr.. Munsey is now its leading
proprietor. With the past few years he has
been gaining golden laurels as an author,
and his books are meeting with a wide sale,
and the most kindly notice of the press
everywhere. The mechanical setting of
The Boy Broker" is in every way worthy
of it, and the volume is fine example of
the printers art. The letter press is of the
highest grade, and the pages are embellished
with 80 beautiful illustrations-not old stock
illustrations that are too often thrown in TO
adorn books-but fresh, artistic pictures
that fit the text. We believe we are not
saying too much for 1.-THE Boy Broker
when we pronounce it the most artistic book
for boys that has come before our notice
for many years. We are glad to encour-
age the publishers by our commentator to
continue this excellent character of work.

Queer People with Paws and Claws" is one
of the books for young people which has
just been issued from the press of Hubbard
Brothers, Philadelphia, and from the first
has met with a wonderful popularity The
young people have fairly gone wild over it.
1t is written and illustrated by Palmer Cox,
the artist author who occupies to-day
warmer place in the hearts of juvenile
America than has been attained by any other
writer. Mr.. Cor owes his popularity to his
success in arousing childish interest and i'm
agination by making for them fairy world
in which live strange people whose antics
and droll doings never fail to entertain.
Here mice and frogs, and cats and dogs en-
act the scenes and have the conversations
that mark the world of human beings. 1t is
his marvellous success in giving interesting
personality to his little imaginative peoples,
that give Mr. Cox his great popularity. The
illustrations to his works are always from
his own pencil and are, in themselves,
never-failing source of delight. Every fam
lily that is blessed with little ones should
have this work.

Warwick BroOkess Pencil Pictures of
Child Life" By T. Letherbrow, Ill. Boston
ID. Lothrop Co. Price SIPS. One of the
most charming little volumes of the season
is Warwick BrOokes' "Pencl Pictures of
Child Life" from the pen of an English
author, T. Letherbrow, a personal friend of
the artist. Mr.. Brookes is little known in
this country, where, we believe, none of his
pictures are owned, but in England his name
is as familiar to che lovers of art as that of
Sir Joshua Reynolds. Indeed, some of his
work is as true to Nature and as full besides
of ideal charm as anything that ever came
from Sir Joshua's brush. His parents were
very poor and he had none of the advantages
that fall to the lot of rich mems sons. He
was what was called ''tear boy in calico
printers. Some of his drawings on stray
bits of paper happened to be picked up by
his employer, who was astonished at the
talent displayed in them. He at once took
him in hand, had him instructed and appren-
ticed him. The boy developed remarkable
skill, and it was proud day for him when
he finished his apprenticeship and was able
to take home his wages as a journeyman and
present them to his mother. He was thirty
years old before he gave up his trade
to take the field of genuine art.
His continual endeavor was after youth,
grace and beauty, and his pictures of child
rem have never been excelled by any English
artist. He never sat at his work or used an
easel, but stood and held his paper in his
hand. For the last seventeen years of his
life he was an invalid, and for much of that
time he was confined to his bed. At the be-
ginning of this period some of his friends
had a series of his pencil drawings photo
graphed and put on sale in portfolios. Sir
Francis Grant, the president of the Royal
Academy, Milais Rossetti, Watts and other
eminent artists rnarveled at the fine quality
of his art. 1t brought him to the notice of
the leading men of Great Britain, and Glad
stone was among his warmest friends. The
Government granted him pension, and the
queen purchased several of his original
drawings. In the exquisite little volume
before us, twenty eight of these child-pic-
lures are reproduced. The innocence of
childhood and its unre strained freedom and
grace were never more faithfully or sympa-
thetically depicted than here, and to the ar
tistic eye they will be continual delight.
