Jefferson Darts, Err President Of 0s Corfede-
rate States of Anierfcd. Memoir by His
Wife. in two volumes. New York: Bel
ford Company, publishers.
We have published liberal extracts from
the pages of this book, and we expect
always to find it valuable for reference.
1t is great contribution to the literature
of the Southern Confederacy, and is OF
priceless value as an account Of one OF the
most remarkable men this country ever
produced.
Mrs. DAVIS has done her work well. In
il she exercises both zeal and judgment,
and that she IL woman of remarkable
talents the Richmond public has long
known.
II IS readable book and will bear close
study. without claiming to be history
it is one in fact. We hope to see it In
every southern home. Thepeople Of Rich
mond, among whom Mr.. and Mrs. DAVIS
lived for four years, owe it to themselves
to become liberal patrons Of the memoir
aud they will find in it much that will
make them feel proud Of their city.
The two volumes together make nearly
1900 pages, and they are well printed with
large, bold type upon good paper, and are
handsomely bound.
By Land and Sea. Edited by Captain
| CHARLES KING. United States Army, Pub
fishers. i. Il. HAMERsLY IL Co., Phlla-
delphis.
This is charming collection of short
stories, each one as fresh and breezy as the
sea or prairie air in which it was writ
ten. A light, elusive, truly American hu-
NOR, dancing here and there, pervades
them and brings smile TO the iaded spirit,
for youth in its brightest and most roman
tic phase is depicted therein.
These tales of the United States army
and navy remind the reader of " Bottles"
English stories. But Captain KING is Anne
rican all through and no West Pointer "
can read 1.-THE Old Academic" one of his
most delightful stories without growing
young again. He is one of the few authors
who think that "all's well that ends well |"
and his readers will agree with him.
