��About Money and Other Things. A Gift-book. By the Author of • "John Halifax, Gentleman." Pp. vi, 234. 12rao, cloth, 90 cents.

Miss Muloch discourses with sound common-sense on the practical topics she has chosen for her essays about money, life and its work, genius, sis- terhoods, and the Irish question ; and her words are so direct and natural that they seem to come from the lips of a friend and not from a printed sheet. The short stories which form half the book are bright and interest- ing., full of good advice and helpful suggestions. — Boston Advertiser.

In the Wrong Paradise, and Other Stories. By Andrew Lang, Au- thor of " Custom and Myth," &c. Pp. 256. 16mo, half cloth, GO cents.

Since Elie Berthet wrote his won- derful stories on The Prehistoric World, no volume of archaeological fiction (to coin a term) has been writ- ten that will bear comparison with this extraordinary collection of stories by Mr. Lang. It is a clever thiny; to write a romance laid at the close of the glacial epoch, but when that ro- mance is replete not merely with the riches of ethnology and tradition, but rich with satire and even pathos, the work is more than clever — it is won- derful. ... To the layman, the downright fun, the originality, the wisdom of these tales will successfully appeal for sympathy ; to the scholar, above all to him who dabbles in folk- lore and ethnology, they are a never- ending spring of jnire delight. — Com- mercial Bulletin, Boston.

��Their Pilgrimage. By Charles Dud- ley Warner. Richlv illustrated by C' S. Reinhart. Pp.' viii, 364. 8vo, ornamental cloth, $2.00.

No more entertaining travelling: companions for a tour of pleasure resorts could be wished for than those who in Mr. Warner's pages chat and laugh, and skim the cream of all the enjoyment to be found from Mount Washington to the While Sulphur

��Springs. . . . His pen-pictures of the characters typical of each re- sort, of the manner of life followed at each, of the humor and absurdities peculiar to Saratoga, or Newport, or Bar Harbor, as the case may be, are as good-natured as they are clever. The satire, when there is any, is of the mildest, and the general tone is that of one glad to look on the bright- est side of the cheerful, pleasure- seeking world with which he mingles. . In Mr. Eeinhart the author has an assistant who has done with his pencil almost exactly what Mr. Warner has accomplished with his pen. His drawings are spirited, catch with wonderful success the tone and costume of each place visited, and abound in good-natured fun. — Chris- tian Union, iV. Y.
