EGYPT UNDER THE PHAROAHS. A
HISTORY DERIVED ENTIRELY FROM THE
MONUMENTS By HEINRICH BRUGsCH-
BEY. A new edition, condensed ana re-
vised by NJ. Brodrick, with maps, plans
and illustrations; New York: Charles
Scribner's Sons.
Brugsch-Bey's Egypt" is an invalu-
able work to the student, and many to
whom the history of that most remark
able land and people ON the favored
banks OF the Nile possesses a fascina-
tion not attaching to any other spot OF
earth will welcome the appearance of
lower-priced and more convenient edi-
tion in one volume. M. Brodrick's con-
densation retains all the valuable fea-
lures of the original. The principal
changes are the omission of the caapter
of "The Exodus and the Egyptian Monu-
ments," the discovery of the site of
Pithon having proved the authors
theory no longer tenable, and the addi-
tion Of new maps, with careful revi-
sion Of the whole text in accordance
with the most recent discoveries in
Psychological science.
In spite of all that has perished, never
to be recovered, the last thirty years
have brought to light an extraordinary
wealth OF material for the study of
ancient Egypt and its people. A walk
through the Egyptian rooms of the
British Museum, or through the rooms
of the Egyptian Museum at Gizeh,
brings one face to face at every step
with an unbroken series of new witnesses
of the old time, raised out of the earth
into the light Of day to give information
about past whose starting point can no
longer be reached even by the remotest
stages in the historical measurement Of
time.
The tablets of Saqqarah and Abydos,
both giving list of Egyptian monarchs
from the first Pharaoh Mena onward,
offer evidence not to be doubted that
the Pharaohs of Memphis must be re-
garded as real historical personages, and
that King Rameses Ii. about 1850 b. CO.
was preceded by not less than seventy
six authentic sovereigns. In sixty cen
turies the old Egyptian race has under
gone but little change, and 1t lends
human interest to the tables Of kings
with their cartouches, to the hierogly-
phics and the monuments TO find in the
most ancient memorials those distinc-
tive features Of physiognomy and ac-
counos Of those same peculiarities Of
manners and customs which every
Egyptian traveller now recognizes.
Brugsch- -Bey's book is full of sugges-
tions, not only to the Psychologist but
to the student Of hereditary traits Of
character.

Prof Felix b. Davis, the champion
fencer of America, has pupil who he
thinks is the peer of anything in the anna
teur line on these plantations, and the
following challenge shows something of
what he thinks of his ability as weilder
of the foil:
To the Sporting Editor, Providence Neics:
SIR--I hereby challenge any amateur fencer
in the State TO a match for trophy valued at
stated sto pnbsr Of points To- be eSreed upon
when the match is made. This is especially
directed to George G.. Harrington and Mr..
arrange match at the earliest possible date
IL IL is agreeable TO them. Yours,
FELIX B. DAVIS, for
Mons. LOUIS CLAvERIE.
IL think he can beat any of the anna
teurs in the State. said Davis, in speak
ing of his man, but there is of conrse
nothing certain about il, and would like
to arrange match with one of the best
ones; to see what he really can do As l
stated in my challenge l should like to ar
range match with either Harrington or
Phillips, as / consider them the best
amateur fencers in the State outside OF
my pupil, and u match alone can tell
whether they or he is the better man"
There is prospect of match for linn
tied number of rounds between Peter Ma
her, Billy Madden's Irish champion, and
George Godfrey, "Old Chocolate" at Bos
ton in the near future. This will bring
Maher into the New England States for
the first time and it may be that arrange

Maher, as yet, has done little or nothing
TO class him even as third-rater. He
has defeated three or four "seepers," but
nothing more than u dozen men could

Godfrey he will find far different man.

The Dickens-Coilins Letters.


LETTERS OF CHARLES DICKENS TO
RENEE HUTTON, with portraits and fac
SMILES. New York: Harper 81 Broth
ers.
The reading world would have lost
much if the hundreds of men and wom-
en- who were fortunate enough to count
Charles Dickens among their friends had
not appreciated the value of everything
he put on paper even in his private
notes. and it is greatly to be regretted
that he did not write letters to himself
like his own Mr.. Toots-and preserve
them ALL
The Dickens Collins correspondence Is
one-sided, because Dickens, as he ex-
planned to MacCready in letter written
I'm March, 1855, and already published
by Miss Hogarth and Miss Dickens,
burned nearly every letter he received.
But even without Collins replies Dick
ems letters to the younger writer are so
thoroughly characteristic as to be more
than worth the reading. Dickens
daughter married Collins brother and
this family connection brought about a
correspondence that was frequent and
familiar. Here is random example:

War Upon tho Water.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF Ma

THE DEVELOPMENT OF NAVIES.
BY CAPT. s. EARDLEY WILMoT, X. n.
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons.
The frontispiece of Capt. Wilmot's
book represents Her Majesty Queen Vic
toria leading the Baltic fleet to sea in
1854, when she had been more than ten
years seated on the British throne, yet
each of the proud vessels following the
trim yacht with favoring wind is Of
the old type. full rigged ships, sloops of
war, gallant frigates Of seventy-four
with three tiers of port holes and briggs
with two, such as Dibdin sung about.
1t is a good reminder, this picture, that
since the beginning Of the civil war
naval architecture has changed more
than in two thousand years before, for
the Roman galley did not differ so much
from a frigste of 1860 as the latter from
the Miantonomah or the Thunderer. In
this change we led the way. though the
first iron clad, the French La Gloire,
was converted in 1859. The Briton, ever
slow TO learn, had followed with the
Warrior" wooden ship with patch
of iron on either side, when the rebellion
broke out and left the navies of the world
utterly without value.
Capt. Wilmot clearly describes the
struggle between guns and armor, which
has continued from that day to this If
in his descriptions he devoted most space
to British craft, we cannot blame him,
since Great Britain continued to lead the
naval dance after our own struggle had
ended and we foolishly allowed the navy
TO retrograde.
Capt. Wilmot devotes some space TO
our new naval building, built or TO be
built, and speaks of the American work
as "highly creditable." The book is
especially timely, in view of the present
Chilean complications.
