ROBERTS BROs. are preparing to issue a new series of novels under the general title of The Old Colony Series, which is to comprise romances illustrating early life in the American colonies. The first volume, which will appear in May, is entitled "Constance of Acadia," and is spoken of as vigorous and spirited, full of color, and outlined with rare dramatic skill. The volumes will all be published anonymously. It is expected that this series will reveal a field of romance as yet untrodden by the novelist of our day. CHARLES C.

The chapters on racing are by the Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire and Mr. W. G. Craven, with a contribution by the Hon. F. Lawley. The part on steeplechasing is by Arthur Coventry and Alfred E. T. Watson. The volume is illustrated by fifty-seven wood engravings from designs by J. Sturgess. The New York World, in an advance notice of the work, speaks of it as "by long odds the best book on both subjects that has yet appeared; for while it is thoroughly entertaining, it is so complete with technical instruction that it should not only be read by all racing officials, but also by trainers and jockeys."

In this volume we come to the most romantic epoch of California's history prior to the great gold discovery. Continuing the history of California from 1836, the doings of foreigners, American occupation, the Graham affair, the coming of Sutter and the establishment of New Helvetia are all fascinating subjects treated in a new light. Not less important is the record of the successive overland immigrant parties, beginning with the Bartleson, or Bidwell party in 1841, and including the companies of Workman and Rowland in the same year; of Hastings, Chiles, and Walker in 1843; of Fremont, Kelsey, and Stevens or Murphy in 1844; and of McMahon and Clyman, Swasey and Todd, Sublette, Grigsby, and Ide, Fremont and Walker, and Hastings and Semple in 1845. Com. Jones's achievements in 1842 are given, and an account of the Russians who left California in 1841. The Hudson's Bay Co. branch at San Francisco, from 1841, is fully noted, with a record of the fur-hunters' operations in the interior, and of the trading caravans from New Mexica. The political record is of deep interest. General Vallejo's controversy with Governor Alvarado; the downfall of the latter; the acces sion of Micheltorena with his army of Cholo ruffians; the revolution by which he was overthrown, with the part, more dramatic than bloody, taken by foreigners in that movement; and finally, the beginnings of Pio Pico's rule, all furnish material for several chapters of interesting complications. Two chapters are devoted to local annals of the north and south in 1841-45; and finally, we have an alphabetical continuation of the Pioneer Register and Index from J to Q, with a veritable mine of biographic detail. This volume, like those preceding, is founded very largely erty, embracing copyright, international copyright, and kindred subjects, a bibliography originally published in the PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, as were likewise the articles on copyright by Mr. Bowker.

This collection, begun several years ago for the compiler's personal satisfaction, grew so in extent and interest that its publication was thought to be justified by the demand for books relating to the war, and by the literary and historical value of the material. Its aim has been "to present a body of the really notable poetry which the war evoked; a record of the feelings and experiences of that heroic epoch, as they were wrought into lyrical expression. Time enough has elapsed to enable the war-poems on either side to be read without resentment; and hence no piece is excluded for its political sentiments, if it has sufɔ̃cient poetic merit."

Bost., Ticknor & Co., 1886. 371 p. D. cl., $1.50. "No gentleman" and "A sane lunatic" achieved more than ordinary success. That their author has written a new novel, and one just as bright and clever, may be dis covered in reading "Next door." By an odd chain of circumstances, the characters in the story find themselves living in adjoining houses in a modest street of Boston. In one house is a party of bachelors, whose comfort is looked after by "Aunt Ann" from the country. Next door are her two nieces, two charming young girls, who have been left by their father's death dependent on their own exertions for a living-Kate, the elder, being the leading soprano in a prominent church. The intimacy between the two families results in a couple of love affairs, which, in spite of many obstacles and unexpected incidents, end happily. Burroughs, J: Signs and seasons.

A very nice sense of obligation deters John Bodewin from giving testimony in the case of the fraudulent changing of the boundaries of the "Eagle Bird" mining claim. Falling in love with the daughter of Mr. Newbold, the owner of the mine, who implores him to give his evidence, he is much divided in mind, and very uncomfortable almost through the story. Scene is laid in the western part of Arkansas, and the natural beauties of the place, the peculiar elements of society drifted there from East and West, the details of mining interests, and civil engineering, make an excellent story.
