Browning, Rob. Jocoseria. Bost., Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1883. 117 p. S. cl., $1. "A collection of Robert Browning's last ten poems is

called Jocoseria.' Two of them, 'Wanting' and Never the time and the place,' are short love poems, and belong with the old dramatic lyrics. Solomon and Balkis,' and 'Adam, Lilith and Eve' are condensed expressions of contempt for women and men. Mary Wollstoncraft' is the wail of a broken heart. These are very short. The two longer poems are 'Jochanan Hakkadosh,' an Eastern story, interesting, but not quite clear at the first reading, and 'Ixion,' which recalls some of the finest lines in 'Saul,' and seems to be one more attempt to express the highest aspirations of which the soul is capable, and the miserable human weakness and limitation which drag it away from its ideal. Only the blind worshippers of Browning will find this volume satisfactory; yet he has never written sharper satire. 'Donald' is a striking and dramatic poem, and 'Hakkadosh' will undoubtedly repay careful study."-Boston Advertiser.

Carolino, Pedro. English as she is spoke; or, a jest in sober earnest; with an introduction by Ja. Millington. N. Y., Appleton, [1883]. 20+60 p. T. (Parchment paper ser., no. 1.) pap., 30 c.

Compiled from the "New guide of the conversation in Portuguese and English," a little work published some eight years ago in sober earnest for the use of Portuguese in learning English. "Only a sufficient number of the English extracts are culled to enable the reader to form a just idea of the unintentionally humorous style that an author may fall into who attempts to follow the intricacies of English as she is spoke' by the aid of a French dictionary and a phrase-book." The initial volume of a new series. Noticeably tasteful. Printed on linen paper with wide margins, but edges cut.

6+353 P.

The author of "Mr. Isaacs" has chosen a new field for his present novel. It opens in Heidelberg, where Dr. Claudius, a Swede, has been a student and lecturer for ten years. A large fortune left him by an uncle who dies in America, and a sudden passion for a beautiful American countess, the

love is the basis of the story. In it are mixed up an English duke, a Russian nihilist, and a rich young Wall Street broker. There is a deep mystery about the hero's birth, who appears to have but the one name, Claudius, which is not cleared up.

Dix, J: Adams. Memoirs of John Adams Dix ; compiled by his son, Morgan Dix. N. Y., Harper, 1883. 2 v., 14+388; 6+435 p. il. and pors., O. cl., $5.

"The life of General John A. Dix, from his fifteenth year, when, fired by the example of his father, he entered the United States army at the commencement of the war of 1812 to the close of his administration as Governor of the State of New York in 1874, was, with the exception of a few short intervals, one of uninterrupted activity in the public service. During a large portion of that period the country was confronted by some of the gravest problems which a nation could be called upon to solve, and in the discussion of these questions, as well as in the momentous events into which they developed themselves, the subject of this memoir bore a conspicuous and effective part. This work, accordingly, has a profound interest, not only for those who may desire to learn the particulars of the career of an honored and useful citizen, but also for those who are earnest students of the course of affairs in the republic during the most critical years of its existence. It is at once a biography times." of General Dix, and an epitome of the history of his Phil., 3

"This is a delightful story [for girls] in Mrs. Lillie's happiest vein. The heroine, Nan, is left an orphan and is adopted by a kind but poor and vulgar aunt, in whose family she spends the years of her early girlhood. Some rich relations, who had held aloof from her on account of a misunderstanding with her father, unexpectedly send for her, and she is suddenly introduced to a life of elegance and luxury. Her new companions endeavor to make her forget the ideas and attachments which she had already formed, but Nan is too pure and true to be corrupted by the conventional teaching of fashionable society."

"In revising the work of Prof. Orton, the writer has not attempted to rewrite the book nor to introduce new ideas. His plan has been to insert such changes as the author would have been likely to make if he had lived to revise his books. On only two points has the reviser departed from this plan of altering only minor details. The chapter un development has been largely rewritten, and the classification of the invertebrates has been changed so as to separate the worms from the arthropoda and the sponges from the protozoa. In both these cases the change seemed imperatively demanded by the progress of zoology in those directions. It is hoped that the alterations in the book will increase its accuracy and usefulness."-Note by the reviser, Edward A, Birge.

A story so sweet and simple that it suggests an oldfashioned plaintive ballad. She has chosen the most picturesque materials that America affords. There are

no analytical, wearisome dissections of the emotions of the various characters, it belongs to no particular school, and to the casual reader will not be so full of interest as Miss Woolson's Anne.'
