 LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE RE. COEERY OF FRANCE, by r. A Simpson.
 The book is less a biogra phy ot Louis Napoleon than history Of France during the first eight years of his government, from the time of his election to the presidency of the Sec oni Republic through the first four years of the Second Empire. This i' a period inadequately covered hereto. fore and the present study is based on a wider survey of source material than has yet been attempted" LUCK OF THE YEAR, by r.. Y,
 Lucas.
 Luck of the Year is Mir. l.. Y. Lucas a s we delight in him, saying the things we have often thought, and yet perhaps hardly even to ourselves pit into words. stirring memories of impressions. tragic and comic, yet dealing with them always in a way intimate and serene which. while it awakCns sentiment. never jars upon it. And the best of it is that he makes us feel, as does that other past master in whimsicalitics, Max Beer bohm. that, there is no end to the fund he has to draw from. We have no doubt that for Mir. Lucas, and for us. his Luck of the Year can belong not less to next year than to this. and to any number yet to come. Chris tian Science Monitor.
