WEALTH AGAINST COMMONWEALTH. By
Henry Demarest Lloyd. New York: Harper x
| Brothers. Washington Woodward Il Lothrop
This, say the publishers, is the story of
monopoly, the most complete history in
existence of the great combination OF
brains and capital which still remains the
type and model of an trusts and monopo-
lies Mr. Lloyd has traced the growth of
this institution from it's origin, in the
sagacity of one Or a few business men Of
Cleveland, to its vast proportions now,
| when it controls the ell markets and trade
of continent, and iscperhaps the most in
| f1uential and dreaded financial power In
America. The methods and practices by
which all corporate rprivileges have been
grasped, all corporate responsibilities eyad-
| ed, ana the commont1aw against monopo-
lies has been uecessfully defied, form an
| absorbing romance OF the business world.
Mr. Lloyd, howsver,tfis by no means de-
| spondent BECAUSE these combinations exist;
| he does not even imagine them ultimately
victorious. He has every confidence in the
| American people, who will, he is salts
fled, "Save the liberties they have In
| herited by winning new ones to bequeath."
The social economist, the thoughtful citi-
| zen, will find much material for study
in the great mass of information aggre-
gated by Mr. Lloyd.
NAPOLEON. BY Alexandra Dumas; Translated
from the French by John b. lHrner New
William Ballantyne & Sons.
The reading world is deeply indebted to
| Washington for the first translation into
English of a work that in the original
French has been highly valued by students
of history. There will be unanimous
| agreement with Mr. Larner that at seems
| very strange that a work from the pen Of
an author of the character and reputation
| of Alexandra Dumas should have remained
untranslated for so long time" but those
who read and enjoy the excellent transla-
| ton will forgive the nc gect and find salts
| faction in the probability that the task
| would hardly have been as well done by
| any one else as it has been by Mr.. Larner.
| With great fidelity and remarkable smooth
ness. the strong original is reproduced for
| the benefit of those to whom it would have
| be III unknown but for Mr.. Larner's &C
ceptable application of his scholarly at
| tainments.
AM WELL! The Modern Practice Of Natural
natural Influence. BY c. W. Post Boston:
Lee 4 Shepard, publishers Washington:
\ Woodward Il LothrOp.
This is a very thorough and exhaustive
| treatise, both upon the theory and prac
| tice of the system of cure by natural suS
sestion. 1t explains the principles of men
tai healing as founded upon the funda-
| mental premise that man, by the devel-
| opment of his intelligence, secures ':Inar-
| velous control over material by the power
\
his physical ailments and preserving bod
| lily health solely by the skillful exercise of
| mind" Vitality and strength are shown
| to be the instantaneous results of the pro-
! cess of mental healing, when man dis
| covers his true connection with eternal
| energy, and that knowledge brings with 1t
a portion OF the power of the Supreme"
