some of its Objectionable aspects; plain
spoken as must needs be, but high in tone
and expounding a needed lesson. Lowell,

P. Judd.
"Army Tales" by John Strange Winter.
A collection of the tales that excited such
wide interest and won a reputation for the

of army life and masculine character with
so delicate and generous an appreciation of
true and manly traits. The volume con-
tsins Bootles' Baby, the Siege Baby, Regi-
mental Legends, Cavalry Life, and In
Quarters with the Twenty-fifth Drsgoons.

ciples. Part I. contains important theo-
rems, rules, formulas aud tables of logs-
rithms; part H., the test problems CLASH
fed, and part I'LL, solutions. Teachers
will find the work valuable, as it contains
many original problems with solutions by
some of the best mathemsticisns of the
country. American Book Co., New York.

writings, which have for years been out of
print in this country, the plates of the
American edition having been destroyed
by fire. "Typee: A Real Romance of the
South Seas" aud "Omoo: A Narrative of
the South Seas" are already out. They
are edited by Arthur Sseadmsn, who sup
plies an introduction, giving the facts of
Melville's rowing life and biographical
aud critical account of his works. The
romancer was possessed of the true spirit
of adventure, and he was fortunate in
finding curious and previously unknown
field. His works are exceptionally fssci-
mating. 1t has been said that 1.-THE beauty
ty, yet no fiction has ever drawn more
strongly on the faith of the reader than
these simple narratives of truth" The
success of "Typee" encouraged Melville to
write more, and "Omoo" appeared in 1S47.
The story begins where "Typee" con-
cludes, but has no further connection with
it. Both these, with the third of the Sc
ries, "White Jacket" are essentially auto
biographical works, but are invested with
wealth of romantic color. The frontis-
piece is a portrait of Mr.. Melville in his
old age. Published by the United States

"The Island of Fantasy" A romance
by Fergus Hume, author of "When
Lived in Bohemia" etc. A most remarka
BILE book. The author seems to have been
imbued with Greek lore and mythic sym.
pathies, even to intoxication, then to have
dashed off a eonglomerstion of English
practically and Hellenic mysticism with

faulty in its misuse of English verbs, but
the plan of the romance Is 30 original, the
material employed so unusual, and the
writer's fancy 80 untiring, that 1t will am
