RECENT LITERATURE.

The long. expected history of the Army OF
the Potomac from the pen of Maj. Slime has at
last appeared. 1t has been almost life work.
and the results of that work are volume that
the mighty men of a mighty host will be proud
to point to and acknowledge. The book is
dedicated " to those who fell to save the Union"
The work has been made up with the advice
and assistance of such men as Gems. Hunt,
Newton, L. A. Grant, w. Rosecrans, Robinson,
Doubleday, Fowler, Sickles, Stannard, Fair.
child, f. S. Bragg, Slocum, Wright, Ayres and
many others on the Union side, and of Long
street, Heth Malone Fields, Fitzhugh Lee, w.
H. F. Lee Eppa Hunton, Kemper, Hagood,
Beauregard. Wright, and others of the Con-
federates The author has, we think, succeeded
in making up history free from bias, and MS
Justly correct as could be expected. In many
cases several different statements of the same
occurrences have been given, that the matters
treated might be presented as fairly as possible.
The book is made up in a most substantial and
at the same time attractive form. The print Is
large and the paper strong. There are some
60 magnificent wood engraved, half tone and
steel plate portraits of the men most prominent
in the Army of the Potomac. The whole nara
tive is most interesting, and the casualties are
most carefully compiled. Maj Slime has made
most emphatic success of this work of SO
many years.

the great success of Table Talk is therefore not
matter for wonder. Its recipes for the
kitchen, its instructions and suggestions in
matters relating to household management and
economy, and the thoroughly practical way in
which they are spread before the housewife
are able proofs that it really is what it claims
to be-a household magazine. The August
