 Masses and Glasses: A Study of h. dustrial Conditions in England" By Hervey Tuckly, author of Under the Queen" etc. The writer claims that the English breadwinner is in the van guard of battle that must yet be fought out in every nation under the sun, and that in our own country has already begun. He has aimed to sketch the industrial condition of England just as he found 1t, giving limited number of valuable statistics, in the hope of awakening 0 larger sympathy for the great mass of sorely-tried wage-earn- CTS all the world over. The book is as interesting as it Is instructive. Hunt & Eaton, New York. For sale by E. P. Judd.
 "A First and Second Latin Book and Practical Grammar. By Thomas Ker- chever Arnold, author of Latin and Greek Prose Composition, etc. Revised by James E Mulholland." Dr. Arnold's principle in compiling his text books was that imitation and frequent repe- tltion are the natural methods by which children acquire familiarity with q language. In this revision the editor has sought merely to correct some er- TOTS and somewhat to simplify the sub- ject matter and arrangement. A CO., pious vocabulary is annexed to the volume, which is held in deserved es- teemed by teachers of the classics. American Book company, New York. For sale by E. P. Judd.
 Witch Winnie in Paris: or, the Kings Daughters Abroad" By Eliza beth w. Champney, author of Witch Winnie" "Vassar Girls Abroad" etc. Illustrated by J. Wells Champney. This Is to be followed by fourth. It des- cribes the life of four young girls in Paris, two of them being devoted to art studies, the others endeavoring to satisfy the requirements both of art and of society. Some famous French artists are introduced, and something may be learned of life in Paris, while there is no lack of the interest that centers in love story. Some incidents appear rather improbable, but are none the less entertaining. Dodd, Mead & Co.,, New York. For sale by D. P. Judd.
 Whites New Course in Art Instruc- tion" vii consist of series of six man. uals, the first of which is prepared for the use of pupils in their fourth year at school, the second for the fifth year, and so on. Geometric drawing, decora- tive drawing, and pictorial drawing, are taught by most systematic and logical plan, the study of each subject being pursued throughout all the grades, so that the pupil is led on step by step to mechanical excellence and to full understanding of the principles that underlie the art. This method, which 1t would seem leaves little for the careful teachers to desire, is not the result of one persons thought, but embodies the ideas of many, who, starting at widely different points and working individually along different lines, arrived almost simultaneously at the same conclusions. One part will be published yearly. The first and second part have already appeared, and aside from the well-planned method of instruction, the beauty of the typo graphy and illustrative material is such as to render them very attractive. Published by the American Book com pany, New York. For sale by E. P. Judd.
 "The Doomswoman." By Gertrude Atherton, author of "What Dreams May Come," etc. A romance of Span- ish high-life in California while that country was still a department of Mex ico. It is a wierd and tragic conception founded upon the old Spanish superstt- tion that "a woman who is twin is also a woman of doom," having the power to heal and to curse, and certain to involve all who were closely connect ed with her in some tragic fate, The real interest in the romance lies in the vivid and otherwise remarkable DOT trayal of the manners, customs, and genius of the country prior to American possession. It is evident that the sub- ject had been studied with great thor oughness and zeal, and the work seems to have been written con amore. Some or the descriptions are most pictur- esque. Yet the writer's English Is oc- casionally deserving of criticism, as when she speaks of the heroine's hair being "gold hair-lurid and brilliant" which is a manifest impossibility and leads us to believe that she has never looked in the dictionary for the mean
