"The Conwsys," by Efie W. Merriman,
author of THE Little Millers." "a Queer
Family" etc. 1t is bright and full of ac-
ton, IS all Mrs. Merriman's stories are;
the moral is not thrust obtrusively into the
foreground, and the tone of the story is
wholesome and clean. Lee & Shepard,
Boston, Mass For sale by E. P. Judd.
''Let Him First be Man." and other
essays, chiefly relating to education and
culture, by W. H. Venables, LII. D., au-
thor of a "History of the United States, "
etc. 1t would be difficult to name a book
on modern education more charming and
original, one more likely to exert a
wholesome practical influence. Not only
information, novel and varied, but intel
lect, both brilliant and forcible, is brought
to bear upon the subject, with choice die
tion and ready wit as added attractions.
Mr.. Vensbles' treatment of his subject is
never dogmstic, but suggestive and stimu-
lsting. A good deal may be learned about
great instructors and their methods; of
Confuc'us, Plato, Goethe, Arnold and 9TH
ere. A delightful work for the library and
an invaluable assistant to the teacher.
