Ayres, Alfred, [pseud. for T: E. Osmun.] The essentials of elocution. N. Y., Funk & Wagnalls, 1886. 89 p. S. cl., 60 c.

A short treatise on the art of reading, refuting almost all the hitherto published methods. The author says that there can be no good acting without good elocution; that without much study, and in the right direction, there can be no good elocution; and that there is no art which can be taught with more success than elocution. The ideals specially held up to students are Charlotte Cushman and Edwin Forrest. The exterior of the little book is very dainty; the title is a fac-simile of Alfred Ayres's penmanship in gilt letters. One half the book consists of extracts for reading, chosen with good taste.

Bent, S. Arthur. Hints on language in connection with sight-reading and writing in primary and intermediate schools. Bost., Lee & Shepard, 1886. 75 p. T. cl., 50 c.

In order to suggest a method of graded class-work, which shall include under the head of language whatever is taught in reading, writing, form, color, and number, the author offers these hints to the profession, on the bases of experiments already attempted by teachers, to whose assistance he gratefully acknowledges himself indebted. Gives a list of books of authority on topics suitable for language exercises, and a list of books to form a teachers' consulting library.

Scene, a large estate on the north-eastern coast of England. Agatha, the heroine, lives with her blind grandmother. Suddenly a telegram tells of Lord Vanecourt's appearance. He is flying from creditors, and hopes to get hold of the family diamonds. The plot is startling, but well conceived. After much tribulation Agatha marries Leonard, a cousin from India. Two or three of the characters are almost new, even to old novel-consumers.

Crawford, F. Marion. A tale of a lonely parish. N. Y., Macmillan & Co., 1886. 4+ 380 p. D. cl., $1.50.

A sleepy country parish is the scene; a scholarly vicar, his practical wife, a middle-aged squire, his pretty lady tenant, her little girl of twelve, the vicar's favorite pupil, and an escaped convict are the characters used for one of Mr. Crawford's most delicate bits of workmanship. It is a study of the human heart under the influence of various conditions, invented with rare artistic skill. *Cumming, C. F. Gordon. Wanderings in China. N.

Du Boisgobey, Fortuné. The Matapan affair; from the French. Chic., Rand, McNally & Co., [1886.] 208 p. D. pap.. 35 c.

The romantic lover and his faithful friend, an impoverished count and family, the aristocratic marchioness, the wealthy parvenu, the very just magistrate, and last but not least, the villain Baron Matapan, with his faithful servant Ali, are the several types of Parisian character represented. The story opens with a conversation between Jacques de Courtaumee and Albert Dautrelaise, which gives a glimpse of a dawning love-affair, and then takes the reader at once to the scene of the story, a house on the Boulevard Hausemann, where the startling incident occurs which leads to the arrest of Julien de la Calprenéde. Moved to untiring zeal by his love for Arlette, Dautrelaise succeeds in unravelling the mystery surrounding the "Matapan affair,” when Julien is released, and Dautrelaise wins the gratitude of the count and the hand of Arlette.
