present in agreeable anecdotal form, combined with pregnant moralizings and reflections which are not pursued to a forbidding length, a large number of examples, drawn from the lives of real and noteworthy men and women, that are worthy of study for the wholesome influence an imitation of their virtues would exert upon the life and morals, the welfare and happiness, of the individual and of society. The first of the series, Self-Help, was more especially designed to impress young men just beginning the battle of life with the conviction that their happiness and well-being depended largely upon themselves-upon their diligent self-culture, self-discipline, and selfcontrol, their perseverance and single-mindedness, and, above all, their honesty and uprightness. In the succeeding volume, Character, Mr. Smiles arrayed a great number of instances of nobility and magnanimity, as illustrated by passages in the lives of many excellent, distinguished, or heroic persons, with the object of making those invigorating virtues attractive to young people. This was followed by Thrift, which, although more didactic than its predecessors, still adhered to the personal and anecdotal treatment that had made them attractive and influential. It was specifically addressed to workmen, artisans, mechanics, laborers, clerks, and men in comparatively humble circumstances, who had families dependent upon them, and whom it sought to impress with the dignity of labor. It also urged them to economize in order that they might secure their personal independence, showed them how they might do so if they were systematic and frugal, and by many strong practical reasons and incentives endeavored to persuade them to live clean, sober, and manly lives, and to aim to raise themselves to a higher elevation by the practice of morality and religion. The last of the series, now just published, completes the round of Mr. Smiles's invaluable practical teachings. Its topic is Duty,' its sphere, its operation upon the conscience and as a rule of conduct, and its effectiveness to ennoble and beautify the world by its outcome of courage, fortitude, honesty, truthfulness, patriotism, heroism, magnanimity, and the virtues generally, whether in prosperity or under stress of trial and adversity, whether at home or in the workshop, in common and every-day business avocations, or in any of the more heroic callings in which one's life may be cast. The volume is a richly stored commonplace-book of inspiring and instructive personal anecdote and incident, and also of sententious wisdom, illustrating the influence of a loyal obedience to duty to lift a man out of the rut of ignoble motives and base practices, and to nerve him to the practice of the

more trying and heroic virtues, without being disabled for the exercise of the sweet charities and the simple and ordinary offices of daily common life.

AT the request of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Mr. Peleg W. Chandler recently prepared a memoir of the late Governor Andrew; and it is now published in a convenient little volume, supplemented by some additional personal anecdotes and reminiscences of the great "War Governor," together with several of his addresses and orations. The memoir and supplement form an interesting outline sketch of the life and character of Governor Andrew, written in a genial and appreciative but discriminating spirit, and in a style of robust simplicity.

MR. GEORGE M. TOWLE has grouped in a handy pocket volume, entitled Certain Men of Mark, half a dozen spirited sketches of as many living English and Continental celebrities, who are not only as prominent as any by reason of their commanding personal qualities and their qualifications for leadership, but who have also exerted, and continue to exert, a more potent influence than any others upon the destinies of their several countries, and incidentally upon the destinies of Europe. The sketches to which special allusion is here made are character drawings of Gladstone, Bismarck, Gambetta, Beaconsfield, Castelar, and Bright; and they embody Mr. Towle's conceptions of the mental equipment and moral fibre of each of these great men, together with graphic descriptions of their personal appearance, their characteristic traits, their style and delivery as orators, their bearing in official life, and their demeanor and enjoyments in familiar society and the home circle. Mr. Towle takes no pains to conceal that his pen-and-ink sketches are influenced by his prepossessions and sympathies. Still his judgment is never so warped by his predilections or his antipathies as to make him unjust. His estimates and characterizations of the distinguished men to whom he introduces the reader are commendably fair and generous. To his studies of these statesmen Mr. Towle adds a brief sketch of the three great living emperors, William of Germany, Francis Joseph of Austria, and Alexander of Russia, and a vigorous portrait of Victor Hugo.

the spice of variety. To literary merit he makes no pretensions, and his estimate of himself in this respect is more just than self-estimates usually are. His book has a strong flavor of the platform as that institution has been made familiar to us by himself. The incidents he relates, the reminiscences he recalls, and the anecdotes he tells are of the kind that may be told more effectively than they can be written. On this account the volume will have a fugitive popularity with a limited class of readers whose literary tastes are not too exacting. It will doubtless amuse, and possibly help, those who are exposed to the dangerous vice against which its author

The story is told by the venerable Stephen R. Riggs, D.D., favorably known to scholars as the author of a grammar and dictionary of the Dakota tongue, who with his wife-the "Mary" of the narrative— very early in their married life felt it to be their duty to carry the good tidings of the Gospel to the heathen; and turning their backs upon their pleasant New England homes, took up their abode with the untutored savages of our far Western wilds, and devoted themselves to their spiritual, intellectual, and physical needs. The volume is a record of faith and zeal, of wisdom, patience, courage, and enterprise; of cheerful endurance, heroic self-sacrifice, and native piety, | has been so active an evangelist. which, as President Bartlett suggests in the introduction, has a remarkable resemblance to the story which has come down to us of the spirit of the primitive Christians in apostolic times. It is, besides, an authentic and highly interesting narrative of incident and adventure among the Indians; of their life, manners, and traditions; of instances of their susceptibility to intellectual advancement and religious influences; and of the wrongs to which they have been subjected by individuals, or through our mistaken or unjust Indian policy. This singularly earnest and unaffected as well as intelligent and disinterested narrative will be read with interest by all who are concerned for the spiritual and material welfare of our aborigines.

IF the poems of Edwin Arnold, now published in an American edition, do not exhibit the higher qualities of fancy and imagination, they are certainly wealthy in the inferior graces and ornaments, picturesqueness, sensuousness, ornateness, and artistic excellence. The principal poem in the collection, "The Indian Song of Songs," is a paraphrase of the "Gita Govinda," or "Song of Govind," from the Sanskrit of Jayadeva, an Indian poet who wrote about A.D. 1150. The poem is a musical and idyllic mystery play, and its theme is taken from one of the Sacred Books of Indra. It celebrates, under the form of a parable of human passion, the loves of Radha, the celestial spirit of intellectual and moral beauty enshrined in earthly mould, and of Krishna, who is an incarnationWHEN Mr. Gough speaks of his newly writ- half human and half divine-of the god Vishnoo. ten volume of reminiscences, Sunlight and Shad- Krishna is at first enticed away from Radha ow, as a "patchwork" gathered "from way- by the attractions and pleasures of the senses, side opportunities," and "jotted down in a but is finally released from these sensual snares desultory manner," he describes it accurately, and allurements, and surrenders himself to her though with unconscious irony.

LORD BEACONSFIELD'S Endymion has been the most interesting event of the month in the realm of prose fiction, less, perhaps, because of its intrinsic merit, or its superiority to other recent productions in the same field, than from the curiosity that is felt for anything proceeding from the pen of its versatile and veteran author, and because of the opportunity that it affords for a comparison of his earlier with his latest work. If we say that it will neither add to nor diminish his reputation, and that it will fail to place him in the first rank of | English novelists, we shall probably discount the general verdict that will be passed upon it by posterity. Less ambitious, less imaginative, less intellectual, and less emotional than the best of his earlier novels, and noteworthy for the utter absence from it of the vividly prophetic forecastings, the quasi-poetical rhapsodies, the superciliousness, and the literary coxcombry which distinguished them, Endymion is far more fully imbued with real though still far from deep feeling than they, and is wiser, calmer, more equable, and not less witty and vivacious. No novel of his is dramatic in the higher sense of the term, or delineates character as it has been delineated by Fielding, and Scott, and Dickens, and Thackeray, and George Eliot, from its seed germ till its final ripeness for good or evil, under the influence of the passions and interests that sway the human heart; yet all belong to the first rank of

THE most minute, and also the most pleasing and picturesque, descriptions of the Holland and Hollanders of to-day that have yet appeared in an English dress have been written by a Frenchman, Mr. Henry Havard, and an Italian, Mr. Edmondo de Amicis. Aside from the gifts of close observation and graphic delineation which are natural to Frenchmen and Italians, there is no doubt that their impressions of a country like Holland are all the more fresh and vivid for the striking contrasts it presents at every turn with everything of which they could have had any experience in | their own more genial lands. The secure and solid earth of France and Italy, their landscapes of hill and plain and valley, their sunny skies and transparent atmosphere, are not more dif- | ferent from the flat, artificial, and unstable ground of Holland, its clouded skies and humid atmosphere, than are the versatile, vivacious, sensuous, voluble, and pleasure-loving children of France and Italy from the phlegmatic, ruminating, silent, and patiently industrious Dutchmen. Moreover, not only are the Frenchman and the Italian peculiarly attracted by those characteristic traits of the Hollander and those distinctive features of his country which are the result of a ceaseless warfare with the ocean, and the direct opposites of all to which they have been accustomed, but they regard these, and the thousand lights and shadows of Dutch life and manners, | those relatively inferior novels which amuse arts, occupations, and enjoyments, with the eyes and describe them with the zest and spirit of first discoverers. In the Record for August last we gave our readers a glimpse of Holland and the Dutch as they were sketched by Mr. Havard in his Heart of Holland, and we now invite their attention to a worthy companion volume of that enjoyable book, Holland and Its People," by Mr. De Amicis. With many points of resemblance to the Heart of Holland, Mr. De Amicis's work touches more lightly upon the rural features, the antiquities, and the historical facts and traditions of the country, and dwells more largely upon the aspects of its cities, the peculiar characteristics of their social life as contrasted with life in the villages and outlying rural districts, the magnitude and methods of their commercial enterprises and mercantile pursuits, and the architecture, cus

the reader by a pleasing narrative of the schemings and dreamings, sayings and doings, dilemmas, defeats, and successes of their heroes and heroines, but which fail to invest them with a distinctive personality, and an individuality that is unmistakably their own. There is not a prominent actor in any who might not interchange parts with another, or whose utterances might not without violence be ascribed to another. In a narrow sense of the term, Endymion is a political novel. It foreshadows no great policy, it portrays no great movement, it does not describe the attitudes and relationships of great leaders to such a policy or movement, nor does it trace the influence of great statesmen, or the bearings of their political principles upon any large social or national interests.

THE scenes of Mr. Hardy's strong novel The Trumpet-Major are laid in the lower middle ranks of English life, and abound in the picturesque descriptions of scenery and still-life, and the subtle delineations of widely contrasted character and manners, that are the characteristic charms of his style and methods. Brighter-or rather less sombre-in its coloring, and even more minute than is his wont in its realistic paintings, its narrative has many episodes of great intensity, which are the more striking for the simplicity and directness with which they are related. The story is felicitously told, and rises in interest at every stage of its development.

ALTHOUGH the other novels of the month are not distinguished by any of those striking or salient qualities which invite enthusiastic admiration or provoke severe criticism, they have the merit of furnishing the reader with refreshing and refined entertainment for an hour of leisure or recreation.

The Robert Franz Album is an important addition to our musical literature. Robert Franz and Franz Schubert are well known as the greatest of German song-writers. The songs of the latter have been for several years familiar to our musical | readers through popular editions, and we are glad to see those of Robert Franz presented in the same way.
