 This Is book which well may s, fashion. and good one, IL is a attempt, and successful attempt.

As for this last, 'Carolln Chansons' disarms criticism. The at tempt is so laudable and so interest ing that one does not feel disposed L estimate poem by poem, although i may be said that only few woult suffer by such scrutiny. The whole i excellent regardless of the varying merit of the parts "-Literary Re view.

 THE HARVARD SONG BOOK. A HIND IN RICHMOND PARK by
 w. H. Hudson.
 His pleasantly enigmatic title sug- sests q book of sketches, insteadS of which we find a meditation on cer- tain senses in man and the rest Of the animals. Of all his books, in fact, this last one is the widest and most ambitious in range, the most fertile in discussion and arguments; and for that reason it may lack the immediate charm of some of them. though of diffused charm and entertainment 1t has plenty and of interest so much that it certainly ranks with the best of them. All of it is full and vivid with experience, and the threads of interest are bewlderingly many."- Times London) Lit. Sup.
