S1.25) A readable book; attractive from
beginning to end. An @sthetically in
clined lady, woman minister, and q
young woman who addressed audiences on
the relations of labor and capital are the
prominent women in the book-three in
stead of two. The book is well written,
for how could a cultured Bostonian, and
daughter of Boston divine, do otherwise
| than write well! 1t viii please the lofty
| and the lowly, in an intellectual scale, for
/ it is full of that sentiment which the apos-
/ tie called sscharity," and which is often
| translated in daily life into the words
Glove and good will" The story encour-
ages the hope that way will surely be
| found to reconcile the laborer and capital
| list.

to the little red shop and its keepers, Jack,
| Corny and Rosy. AS the pleasant story

neat, well printed volume with gilt tor
has charm which belongs to 'Ik Mar
veil" smoothness of sentence and finish
of paragraph, and blending of graphic
description and literary fact which is ad
mirable, and which accounts for the popu
larity of the author in the days agone
This book tells of events and letters from
Elizabeth to Anne. Such names as Miltor
and Shakespeare and George Herbert oc
cur here King James Bible is mentioned
with discrimination and yet with praise
The author thinks it, as a translation, un
surpassed in literary finish and acceptable
diction. The book is readable and in
structive. It has characteristic dedica
ton, redolent of summer bloom and beau
ty, and has also an index which adds to it
value.
