and Weldon Grossmith. Illustrated by
Weldon Grossmith. The greater part of
this work originally appeared in "Punch." !"
1t relates to the trials of a suburban house
holder, who Is q simple hearted, kindly
fellow enough. His diary is supposed to
be humorous, but the humor appears only
here and there. All the rest Is unspeska-
bly, heavy and dreary. 1t may smuse the
British mind, but the average American
will find his patience severely taxed If he
attempts to read 1t through. TAFT, Sons
& Co New York. For sale by E. P.
Judd.

breath of originality will play refreshing

ise has been kept. The make up of these
little volumes Is quite alluripg. Paper
and type are excellent and the colored from
tispieces as pretty as a Christmas card.
Other illustrations are usually well done,
with the exception OF some In "Aerely
Mary Ann," and the snaps aud sizs of the

man and to give some account of his works.
To his pleasant task he brings countless
personal "reminiscences of an intimate na-
ture, covering period when Lowell was

| is always interest In her character studies,
and those with whom che is fsvorite find
not one delicate touch too many. Lowell
