Blackmore's last novel. Darrell: A
Romance Of Surrey Is out with four
teen full page illustrations. All who
have e his great novel. Lorna
Doone." one OF the masterpieces in
English fiction, win be glad to read
this last work Of AT entertaining now
elist- It Is phophesied that it will AXE
rank next to the great novel among
all his productions.
Talk about SCOTS novels dying out.
They are more read today than they
were ten years ago. Lately two SPLEEN
did editions were published by two
leading houses and now an American
house two other editions,
one at $1.25 and the other at 50 cents a
volume.
William Morris. who died within a

is said by the Tribune critic, who in
some respects damns 1t. that 1t would
he lard to surpass the romantic flavor
Of this long narrative. 1t has the gla-

the substance of this volume is en-
chanting. Morris was always on speak
ing terms with the wood folk, and
when h reader plunges with him into
the forest of Evilshaw. on the borders
Of the town hight Utterhay, he feels
the cool breath Of the deep mysterious
aisles across his FAC and discerns ro-
mantle forms amid the underbrush and
low-hanging boughs. In this dim, far
away and Morris lets his imagination
run riot"
We have always found Morris en-
chanting when we have taken t. him
for pleasure. He abounds in originality
and beauties.
Mr.. w. W. Newell has just published
king Arthur and the Table Round
Those who love Tennyson's immortal
n unapproachable 'Idylls of the
King and have not Sir Thomas Nal
lory's book, will do we'll to get this
new book. It is in two volumes. The
Tribune critic gives this amusing bit
Of information:
when Tennyson himself was deer
in such historical studies, in prepare
ton for his Idylls, Carlyle said of him
despairingly, when asked what the
poet was about Alfred is sitting on a
dung heap amid innumerable dead
dogs"
Carlyle vas an early and great ad-
mirer of the poet and held him to be
the handsimest man in all England as
we'll as one Of the greatest.
Old DR.. Sam Johnson said he had
read but one book twice-the Letters
of Lady Mary Wortley Montague.
That explains why he was some times
such a poor critic of Shakespeare.

Professor Edward Dowden's French
Literature" is received with great ia
| vor and is pronounced by as high au-
thority as the London Athenaeum to
be "the best history of French litera-
! ture in the English language" The au-
thor is the distinguished professor of
English literature in the University Of
Dublin. The London Saturday Review
gives it a warm Endorsement and says
it sis a history of literature, as histo-
ries hould be written"
Gilbert Murray's Ancient Greek Lit
nature" is we'll praised. We have seen
but one discordant opinion. It meets
with Endorsement of many scholars
Inc critics. The London Times says
it Fairly represents the best conclu-
sions Of modern scholarship with re-
| gard to the Greeks"
Many years ago Professor Francis 7.
Palgrave, Of Cambridge university,
England, published a volume entitled
ga Golden Treasury of Songs and
Lyrics" 1t has been regarded through
the years by critical culture and abili-
ty as the very best anthology hat vas
ever published. 1t is regarded as we'll
I nigh perfect. He has quite recently
added to it by publishing a second
| series made up of selections from more
| recent authors. It is not thought to
be equal in excellence to the first series
| although full of merit. The selections
| as a whole are not considered so unob-
jectionable or admirable. It contains,
however, a great deal of beauty. It
draws upon Tennyson, Browning, Mat
thew Aarnold and a great many other
less famous singers. Price $1.0O.
The biography of Lord Tennyson was
issued On the 18th of October. The
third edition is now in preparation.
Everybody who reads praises it as
most excellent, displaying the most
consummate tact, and re-
strained judgment and exquisite taste.
Oh, the price, $1,000.
James Lane Aliens The Choir In
visible" still charms with it's music. It
has reached it's $4,000.
An inviting letter book, Is mo, price
80 cents, is Selections from the Prose
of Matthew Arnold" one of the best
stylists in England of the last hal
century. 1t gives twenty-five repre-
sentative selections from Essays in
Criticism, Essays, On Tr~anslating Ho-
mer, On the Study of Celtic Literature,
Discourses in America, Culture and
Anarchy, Literatue and Dogma. With
an Introduction and notes.
Many books of "reminiscences have
been issued from the press in the last
year or two. Among them is Dean
Farrar's Men 1 have Known" and a
book by Aubrey De We're, the Irish
poet, that is pleasantly received and
Endorsed. There is also much episto-
larry literature coming out. We tried
some of the celebrated Dean Swifts
unpublished letters in the Atlantic
Monthly and were easily satisfied for
most were dull. Tennyson's letters
are to be found in his life by his son.
Mrs. Browning's letters will be soon
cut. She was possibly the greatest of
English female poets. The correspond
ence of William Wilberforce is Just out
in England. Some letters of the great
est modern historian, Edward Gibbon.

Typhoid fever in this country is more
destructive than yellow fever here.
II yet we near of no typhoid panics

That may be true as to mortality

Typhoid fever prevails in places al any
