England and the English from an Ameri-
can Point of View. BY Price Collier.
Published by Charles Scribner's Sons,
New York.
The author Of this book gives us
in a racy style his first impressions
of the English, and then inquiries
''Who are the English?' He con
cludcs that England is the land of
compromise, and then asks whether
the English are dull, concluding they
are IN some cases, but, as a whole, they
arc quick -wittcd and keen. and great
at meeting every emergency, both in
public and in private life, The sports
Of the English arc enthusiastically de-
tailed and explained The devotion of
the EuSlishmen to their own sports is
thorough, and no one can help admiring
the spirit IN which they enjoy them,
There IS n chapter on ireland, show
ing the points Of contact between the
Irish and English, pointing out where
the friction is, where IL seems to be
necessary aud where it could be avoid
ed. The life in an English country
town is eujoyabIy portrayed. English
soclety In general is good deal Of
a puzzle to the average American, but
is here jucjdly explained, Concluding,

A FoRECAsTING NOVEL.

The Kingdom OF Earth BY Anthony
Partridge. With Illustrations by A. B.
WenzelI Published by Little, Brown,
and Company, Boston,
This is story founded upon the. idea
chat the Kingdom of Bergeland, as
named in ii, is not only on the way
of becoming republic, but has grad
nallv worked out its destiny to achieve
that step. The wretched old King is a
fair representation of that old rascal,
Leopold, King Of the Belgians, and no
one can fail to sec that it is he that
occupies the throne, and Belgium the
country referred to in the work that
are meant. The story turns around the
crown prince, nephew TO tho ruler,
who sets out to make q reputation more
malodorous than that Of the old ruler
himself; but he has TO have his foster
brother help him, and the remarkable
resemblance between the two adds
greatly to the mystery of the story
The scene shifts from Bcrgeland Ia
Paris and London, and in the end it
transpircs that the crown prince has
been carefully preparing Bergeland to
become republic, and educating the
people 30 do their part In the popular
government. There is a beautiful girl
whom the crown prince meets under the
name Of Johu Peters, and their ro
mace comes TO noble elimination in
the story. It is a brilliant tale, told
with much apparent knowledge Of Eu
ropean royalty and their exhibitions OF
brutality among their peoples.

LIFE IN NEW ENGLAND.

New York.
The central scene Of this story is
Columbia Corners, and the life there.
The brothers 90 to ruinous lawiDg over
q lane and the progressive steps in loss
of property and OF social standing, of
age before its due time; Of disregard
and contempt OF the wise old squire
who attempted to dissuade them from
their lawsuits, but yet who lent
them money to carry those suits on; all
arc told with a sympathy, humor,
and an appreciation of the qualities of
character drawn that make the read
ing decidedly entertaining. Then there
IS the boy thought by the neighhors
to be bad egg, but who is the most
manly and admirable youth introduced
in the book. Tho love affair Of the
Squire and Priscilla is an idyl in itself.
The characteristics Of thc hard and
prejudiced New England natures, with
the stiffness Of it's piety, its eager curl
osity to find out all that is going on,
its depth Of human feeling when
brought to the surface, make the book
more like a panorama Of life than a
work of fiction. 1t is absorbing reading,
and the reader is capitvated at the
first, and held enchaincd and in ap.
preciative humor till the last OF tho

good deal of money, but to be paid TO

free hand so far as his individual ac-

didn t want his boy TO lose all his

money there were various written slips

or guides in the various crises that
might arise, and, in fact. did arise. The
occasion is made for then perfect ap.
