Told in a Whisper is one of the quar-
terly Crown Library Grown Publishing
Company. New York;. 1t is by Leigh H.
Irvine. and this issue of it is the tenth
| Thousand. 1t can scarcely be called a
novel, for there is not that connected plot
necessary to the well-sustained tale. 1t
is fanciful monograph dealing with the
relations of capital and labor, and the
problems OF society. Mr.. Irvine has pro-
| dueed a most singular and attractive
book. We doubt if anyone who takes it
up and reads chapter will put it aside
without completing, or arranging to COM
piete it. Socialism, communism anarch-
ism, capital, labor, white slavery, child
labor, and other topics directly in interest
in this day are treated. and through all
are views of love and heroism that charm
| by their naturalness. We fancy that the
book will be widely read and exercise no
| small influence.
From James Clarke, 10 Vesey street,
| New York, we have Number u Of the
| Transatlantic series published by him.
! The issue is devoted to the White SQUAD
ron of the United States Navy. The form
is large quarto, and the illustrations are
full page half tones of the finest character.
With each there is an explanatory and
descriptive note. The work is charm
| ing one. 1t is issued weekly and is de-
serving of place in any home or library
art collection. The preceding twenty
numbers were devoted to America, from
Alaska to the Gulf of Mexco." Such a
work as this is very useful in the home,
because it instructs youth concerning our
! country by means of illustrations that fix
upon the mind vivid Impressions.
