umes. A work that has long been out
 of print but that, when first published,
 more than sixty years ago, aroused the
 indignation of every American reader.
 The author resided in this country for
 three years and a half, most of the
 time being spent in Cincinnati, then a
 little town of some 10000 inhabitants,
 lying on the extreme western border
 Of our civilization. She wrote of things
 as she found them, and if she did not
 aught extenuate it is not probable that she set down aught in malice, al
 though her strictures were received
 as unjust and insulting. There was
 much that was rude, ungenial and pre- tentious in the days of which she wrote,
 and as she professed to describe only the daily aspects of ordinary life there are many repulsive pictures which we would be only too glad to believe are | unfatthful and overwrought. Yet what | she wrote of the uncleanly habit of expectation in public places would ap- ply to the practice to-day, after all these years of growth in refinement.
 That she was willing to admire as well
 as to criticise is shown in many pas-
 sages, and there Is evidence of kind
 ly spirit, and of genuine admiration.
 This new edition has the same illus tratlons as the original edition, and very interesting and amusing most of
 these drawings are. Published by

 'Hypnotism: How it is Done: Its
 Uses and Dangers" By James R.
 Cooke, M. D. The authors intent Is
 to place the phenomena of hypnotism in a clear and intelligible light. Methods of producing and dispelling the hyp- notic condition are described, as are the effects of the hypnotic state upon the senses. The dangers of hypnotism, and it's uses as a remedial agent, are fully treated, and the work closes with brief historical sketch and a very ex- tensive bibliography. The author quotes mainly from his own experience, and believing in its importance as a healing agent and a sociological factor, he has not confined himself to it's rela- tion to medical practice but presents a broader view of it in its application to every day life.
