Under this treatment President Hyde has
succeeded in presenting a review of the
tthical field in form at once wonderfully
condensed and comprehensive. In this
form it cannot fail to be readily understood
and absorbed by the student. The work
will add most materially to the substantial
reputation already attained by President
Hyde as one of the most logical, practical
and original educators in the country.
"Chim, His Washington Winter" by Mad
cline Vinton Dahlgren. New York Charles
l.. Webster & Co.
Chin is wonderful terrier dog, and
in describing the experiences of her
hero at the national capitol it must be con-
cedei that Mrs. Dahlgren, in her own
inmitable way, has given us volume as
entertaining as it is unique. of course so
favored an individual as Chin had oppor-
tunities for observing Washington life such
AS is rarely vouchsafed to ordinary mortals
and it is needless. perhaps. to say that he
made the best of them, and that nothing
that was really worth seeing escaped his
discriminating gaze.
The volume is one that can scarcely fail
to win merited popularity.
Aladdin in London" romance by Fer
gus Hume; PIP. 1872. Price Sl.25 Boston
and New York Houghton, Affiin < Co.
Mr. Hume's abilities rs a novelist are too
well known to leave any doubt as to the
interest that must attach to any work of fic-
ton from his pen. "Alad1in in London is
in his best vein. The plot is d absorbing in
terest and the incident fresh and exciting.
There is nothing overtlrawn in the easy and
natural progress of the narrative, and the
reader caught with the opening chapter will
not fail to follow the story to the
close. The character sketching of this
book is admirable. and the dialogue
crisp and sparkling Mr.. Hume
is 10 be congratulated upon the free
dom from triyialities-often descending into
mere buifoonery--which characterizes his
colloqual composition. His characters do
not pose as kings testers. The enviror-
ments in which they move. are such as to
give them plenty that is interesting and i'm
portant to say, and they say 1t exceedingly
well. Our literature would be greatly en-
riched by more books of the class which
Mr.. Hume has given the reading public.
