RECENT LITERATURE.

Preventive Legislation in Relation to
Crime, is the subject Of a. recent essay
by c. H Reeve, published by the Ameri-
can Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence, which will doubtless attract much
attention among thinkers generally and
those who are interested in social ques-
tions in particular. Mr.. Reeve shows
how great has been the increase, not only
in crime but also in the savagery at
tendant ugon the commission of crime,
as we'll as in the reckless boldness dis
played by criminals. TO remedy this he
advocates the removal of the source from
which the criminal comes by preventing
marriages between those who are unfit
for the relation, and by removing the
children of criminals etc, from their
parents. For such as are now criminals
he advocates imprisonment with no right
to return to freedom until complete
reformation has taken place.

Political and Social Science, Philadelphia.
