MAYO, ISABELLA FYVIE, [" Edward Garrett," pseud.] The mystery of Allan Grale. Harper. 4° pap., 20 c. Fearful dreams and strange omens usher in a story full of a tragical interest. The scene is laid in Scotland. Two lost and belated travelers seek refuge at a lonely farm, and one is wakened by an unearthly knocking at his door. The family tell him that it is a family omen, presaging trouble to the one dearest to them directly or indirectly through him, and that it is always said to be heard on the day the end begins." The mystery of the story beginning here, holds the reader's interest throughout, the gloom being somewhat lightened by a couple of love stories. MEREDITH, G. Evan Harrington: a novel. New ed. Roberts. 12° $2. MEREDITH, G. The ordeal of Richard Feverel: a history of a father and son. New ed. Roberts. 12 $2. Messrs. Roberts Brothers are publishing a new and uniform edition of the works of George Meredith, if not the best known, certainly one of the most brilliant of modern English novelists. His style is beautiful in its finish and its strength. The whole mass of contemporary English literature can show nothing finer and more artistic in writing than is presented in Mr. Meredith's books. His wit is of the keenest, and his wisdom of the deepest. He has studied human nature thoroughly, and knows the world by heart. His pages abound in bright epigram. His characters are genuine flesh and blood, and are drawn and developed with the highest and the largest artistic skill. That so admirable a genius in fiction should not be better known, while mere pigmies in the art have become as familiar in the mouth as household words, is almost incomprehensible. His books have every quality to recommend them to the warmest admiration of all readers of cultivated tastes, and Messrs. Roberts Brothers are performing a great service by issuing the edition of his works now in hand. The story just published, "The Ordeal of Richard Feverell, is a very powerful one, in which pathos, humor and strength of plot are finely combined. It is the work of a genial philosopher, and provides not only entertainment but food for thought. It is one of those books, rare in contemporary fiction, which, once read, is never forgotten. It is handsomely printed in large, clear type upon excellent paper. The series will be completed in nine volumes."-Boston Evening Gazette. MURRAY, J. D. CHRISTIE.

After years of degradation the husband is reclaimed through the Christian efforts of a college classmate, and restored to his family. The story claims to illustrate the utter impotency of all human influence and endeavor to save the confirmed drunkard. SEELY, HOWARD. A ranchman's stories. Dodd, M. 16° $1.

This is precisely the idea they convey to the reader's mind. They may not stand severe critical analysis from recognized standards, but they do breathe a deep feeling that trenches closely upon true art.

Mr. Lanman's style is quite picturesque, his information accurate, and his supply of really good anecdotes quite wonderful. It is to be regretted that his book lacks an index, but this regret is tempered by the hope held out by the author that he may publish a continuation of the present volume.

The author has aimed to show his readers the place held by tapestry in the annals of high art or painting proper. Beginning with an account of tapestry in ancient times with the Egyptians, Assyr ians, Hebrews, Chinese, Greeks, Romans, etc., it goes on through the various centuries, describing textile art as found in different countries, and illustrating the account very profusely. The last chapter describes some of the looms now used in weaving tapestries. In the appendix are fac similes of the marks and monograms by which the makers are known, and lists of the chief centres of manufacture, of painters who designed cartoons for tapestries, and of the chief tapestry workers.

"A revised and enlarged edition of his work upon the same subject, published a few years ago, and checked in its circulation by a fire in which the plates were destroyed. It consists of three parts: first, an essay upon the general subject of the capacity of woman for the composition of music, and a thoughtful analysis of the conditions which have operated to prevent her attainment of eminence in that field of art; second, an account of those passages in the lives of the German composers devoted to their rela tions with women; and, third, a discussion of the interpretation of music by women. The outcome of the three parts together seems to be that, although the great composers have all been men, we yet indirectly owe very much to the influence and inspiration of the women with whom they have been associated, while in the interpretation of music women have always more than held their own as against the An appendix gives lists of the most stronger sex. noted compositions by women, and also of those numerous compositions which have been dedicated to women by their composers. It is needless to say that Mr. Upton's work is accurate, scholarly, and genial. He is one of the few writers upon musical subjects who avoid the extravagance to which these subjects tempt."-The Dial. HISTORY. DUNN, J. P., Jr. Massacres of the mountains: a history of the Indian wars of the far west. Harper. 8° il. and map, $3.75. The present work is the completest we have on this subject. The author has put everything he had to say within the body of the work, unless his first chapter, termed introductory, be perverted into a preface. He begins by taking the ground that at the stead of there being millions of Indian inhabitants, time of the discovery of America by Columbus, inthere were probably only about five hundred thousand. If this be true then the present Indian population, consisting of 270.000 or a little over half that number, shows by no means as sensible a decrease, during the progress of four centuries, as most persons have been disposed to believe. Mr. Dunn shows how the idea of possessing and settling the Rocky Mountain region began to develop itself in the minds of the American people. It began almost half a century ago. Before that time it existed only as a speculative belief of far-sighted men or a daring hope of adventurous ones. We then owned but little of our present Western territory. However, the acquisition of the mountains was one of a series of encroachments which civilization deemed essential. The numerous facts, so carefully related throughout the 700 pages, have exhausted much labor in their compilation. Nothing important seems to have been omitted. The index is very full-an important, but often slighted desideratum. The illustrations number nearly 200, and the list of authorities enables the reader to refer to the original sources, or, at any rate, to know what and where they are. of the Indian reservations within the United States shows at a glance what quarters are thus occupied." -N.

Same, Har per. 4° (Harper's Franklin sq. lib.,) p. 20 c. Although written in the early years of the century, the MS. of this work was not identified as the writ ing of M Fauriel until recent years. M. Lalanne considers it one of the most important contributions yet discovered to the history of the days preceding the Empire. Fauriel was for a time secretary to Fouché, the Minister of Police, and witnessed most of the scenes he so vividly describes. The attempt to prove Moreau and Georges Cadondal conspirators, with the striking scenes of the trial, find in him an earnest and truthful historian. LEE, F. G., D.D. King Edward the Sixth, supreme head: an historical sketch, with an introduction and notes. Cath. Pub. Soc. 12° net, $2.80. "One might mistake the author for a Catholic priest, but he is a vicar in the Church of England, being in charge of All Saints', Lambeth, and has published a treatise defending the validity of the holy orders as handed down by Anglicanism. He is also the editor of the famous Directorium Anglicanum,' and has written a number of fearless monographs on the period of the Reformation. He appears to hate-surely, no milder term will do the words Protestantism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Puritanism. At the same time he seems to be a loyal Anglican, and to illustrate the marvellous liberality of that church which tolerates everything from Dr. Lee to the very essence of Unitarianism. candor compels the statement that he is far more accurate in his account of the English Reformation than are most of the Protestant historians. Lee's Edward the Sixth' is cordially recommended to the attention of Protestant Episcopal clergymen, to the students of the Protestant Reformation, and to all friends of historical truth.

"Is both in conception and execution, a valuable work, fully maintaining the high standard set by the And preceding volumes of the Story of the Nations' series. The four introductory chapters are so broad in their treatment as to furnish, together with the story of Chaldea proper, a general introduction to the study of ancient history. The author has been wonderfully successful in striking the happy mean between a learned treatise and a merely popular narrative. All that is of value in the records of explorers and archæologists is combined and related with animation and perspicuity. The pictures, too, of which there are great numbers, are illustrations in the true sense, bringing out clearly the points of the text. Particularly interesting are the chapters describing Layard's work, the Babylonian religion, and Chaldean religion and mythology. There is hardly a page of this book that may not be read with comprehension, and even entertainment, by any intelligent lad of fifteen, and yet the volume is well worth a place in the library of a mature student.

The epic songs of Russia; with an introductory note by Francis J. Child. Scribner. 8° $2.50. "From the collections of folk-lore made by competent Russian authorities, Isabel Florence Hapgood has selected and translated a volume of 'The epic songs of Russia.' These songs have been handed down from generation to generation for a thousand years, wholly by oral tradition, and to-day in northern Russia are sung by many peasants who believe implicitly in the heroes whose deeds they relate. It is only within the present century that the learned Russians began to take any notice of these interesting legends. Within the past twenty-five years several valuable collections have been made by men who travelled among the peasants and jotted down the words as they were sung. The minstrels do not make the singing of these songs a business, but a domestic diverson, and nearly all of them are well to do. There are many versions of the same legend, varying in details, but always preserving the main story intact. The author has in this volume given a prose translation of fifty songs, endeavoring to preserve the style of the original. Professor F. J.

It is interesting,' writes William Shepard,' 'to know what great intellectual leaders have thought of each other, even though their opinions may err on the side of clemency or severity.
