    of description , and I congratulate you on having invested with interest a subject that deserves it / The subject of the romance is concerned with the

    achievements of Onnalinda , the Iroquois prin- ? cess , whose brilliant adroitness baffled the French General at the time of the invasion of therv ^ iesee

    V ^^ P ^^ P all ^ H ^ H ey , and whos W e fascinating ^ a ^ i ' beauty i ^ drew ^ to her ^ B side the chivalrous Captain Stark . Th 6 * loves and adventures of this gallant captain and the

    charming Onnalinda , together with the story of Honald Kent and ' Glinting Star / are described in vivid and romantic language by Mr .

    McNaughton , whose verse is invariably smooth and melodious , reminding one of Robert Buchanan ' s in ' White Rose and Red' with the

    , additional The work is merit dedicated of a to purer i Oronh and yatekha nobler , President subject . of the Grand Council of Chiefs of Canadaas the

    distinguished representative of a race , whose origin is beyond the reach of history , and whose heroic deeds are a fitting theme for romance and

    song . ' To all who can appreciate genuine poetry we cordially recommend * Onnalinda . ' They will at the same time make the acquaintance of some

    noble characters worthy the emulation of the defamers of the Indian race , and , as the author says * those i | hrf i hireling scribes i who ¦ seek i ¦ ¦ to palliate

    inclined to take Mr . McNaughton ' s as the truer picture of the two . From Mr . George Eedway . —We would be sorry

    to judge the character of a man from our first hasty impressions regarding the dimensions of his nose , the colour of his eyes , the shape of the

    From Messrs . Smith , Elder , & Co . —* The Law Relating to Trade Mark * , ' by R . S . Mushet , of Lincoln ' s Inn , Barrister-at-Law . The purpose of

    this this book book is is to to give f ? ivo in in a a condensed condensed form form an an avail avail--able reference work relating to the pricciples of the law of this country regarding trade marks . Lately

    several statutes have affected these laws considerably , and a book such as that which Mr . Mushet lias prepared must be obviously of great usefulness . The plan adopted is good ; the book

    being divided into three leading divisions , namely , the 'Merchandise Marks Act , 1862 , ' « The Patents , Designs , and Trade Marks Acts , 1883 , ' and ' Trade Marks Rules 1883 / In addition to these are

    , various sub-headings which make the volume readil and a unders coiou s index . Exp add lanations to the abbreviations value of the

    p manual , which "will fce found invaluable in legal and 'mercantile circles .
