GESTURES AND ATTITUDES. By Edward p.
Warman, A. NJ. Published by Lee < Shepard.
Boston. Price So.
Mr.. Warman, who is well known all over the
country az most entertaining lecturer and
el0cutiOni5t, and the authOr OF "The Voice.
Physical Training" Principles Of Pronun-
citation" and other works equally practical and
valuable, has produced in this a book which
has already had an enormous sale and spread
his reputation. Here he presents his readers
with plain, practical and comprehensive idea
Of Delsarte'5 teachings having stripped of all
technicalties. IN the same admirable manner
in which he has treated o. the voice and of its
control, he considers the body and its manage
ment as an instrument for the expression Of
thought and sentiment. In regard TO Prof
Warmau's lectures on the different subjects in
which he is so much interested, we can only
say that an evening spent with him must re-
suit very prOftably, as be is witty, logical elO-
quent, and above all practical. Big profits and
satisfied audiences await the enterprise Of any
GAR. Post or S. Of v. Camp which choose to
engage him for their entertainments.

THE LOST COLONY. BY James F. Raymond
Published by /. u. Peterson i Bros, Phiiadel-
phia. Price $50.
"The Lost Colony " is one Of the most Singh
lar as well as exciting stories that we have seen
lately. The narrative hinges on the fortunes Of
a Southern family, who pass through astartling
succession of fortunes and changes Of lOs. With
their fate is also bound up that of a young
officer in the army, who distinguishes himself
by his bravery. This history gives an Oppor-
tunity for the introduction of some admirable
descriptions Of Southern life. The most novel
scenes of the book are laid on a desert island
aud center around the account of the Lost
Colony history so astonishing as to suggest
the belief that this part Of the novel has, as
