    boast might fairly be that she has never penned a line but what was thoroughly wholesome , and

    that her works are replete with pure healthy interest . ' Two Sides of the Shield / the last of the serieslies before us as we write . Like the

    rest it is , in one volumetastefullboundadmirably printed , and very , skilfull y y illustrated , . It is but the simple story of a girl whose father

    left England for three years , confiding her during his absence to the care of a friend , Lady Merrifield 7 amidst — whose family she had many trials

    , ^ ^ and experiences ; r but how delicately and sympathetically , with what insight into the finer feelings of a reserved if not somewhat sullen nature , is it

    told ! But all Charlotte M . Yonge ' s works of fiction exhibit this refined and womanly degree of conceptionand in their present form they should

    , command a wide and renewed circulation . From Mr . "William Paterson . —New editions of

    * Paterson ' s Guide Book to England and Wales / and * Paterson ' s Guide Book to the United Kingdom , ' have been published . The books are dated

    1886 . \ From MessrsReeves & Turner . —No . 5 of

    and notes , by I > r . ( Srarnetfc and Mary W . Shelley . The volume is edited by Mr . Thomas J . Wise . From Messrs . O . Smith . & Sons . —This firm has

    published a beautifully-printed * Graphic Map of England . ' The map shows the physical features of the country exceptionally well . Mountains and

    rivers are shown with . UDusual clearness ; so that in intelligence and mechanical production the map is a thoroughly effective example of modern

    "With regard to his new book , * A Short History of 1 the Parliament object with , ' Mr which . B . it C . was Skottowe written says "wa , s that the

    hope of imparting a certain amount of life to the dry bones which are strewn in the way of the constitutional student , and - ~ of — combining — - — - ^

    instruction with a certain amount of amusement . ' We cannot say that the object has been realised or the hop A . e justified tJ ; but , notwithstanding C _? this ,

    the constitutional student who desires to combine amusement with instruction will find Mr . Skottowe ' s book one of the most sensible and handy

    of its kind . From the same . — ' Pond Life Insects , ' by Edward

    A . Butler , B . A ., B . Sc , is a very useful manual conceding an interesting and instructive branch of entomological science . It has a valuable

    introduction , preceding particulars regarding the surface , the middle depths , the bottom , above the surface , and the margins of ponds . The

    concluding chapter relates to water plants . Mr . Butler ' s book should be one of the most popular in ' The Young Collector' series .

    From the same . —* 13 all Told / And well told , too , we think the reader will say . These are

    just the sort of pleasant , readable stories to take away with one on a holiday tour , when the idle mind wants something quietly attractive without

    having the hairs of one ' s head set on end by murders and gruesome medical mysteries . They are all interesting , though in the rase of one or

    two—* Mr . Ealing ' s Eloquence , ' for instance — the plot is so slight as to be comparatively valueless . "We congratulate the author , Mr . Moorsom ,

    on a most creditable success .

    charm than on the intricacies of plot , though in the latter respect the narrative is by no means ¦ wanting . It is on the human interest of its

    characters that it chiefly relies , and few things could be better in their way than the picture of Mrs . Diceythe mother of the sturdy Birtwho fancies
