Since birthday books made up trom the writ- ings of favorite authors are in order, it 1s but natural that there should be one representing Miss Ingelow. And even her warmest admirers will, we suspect, be agreeably surprised to see how well much of her poetry is adapted for the purpose. The selections and arrangement seem to be made throughout with taste and skill, and the volume is handsomely gotten up. It is printed in colors, and embellished with a steel plate likeness of the author, and a wood cut illus- tration suitable for eaen of the twelve montis. MAGNA CHARTA STORTES. Edited by Antaun Gtiatex. “Ilustratel. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Both the purpose and achievement of this lit- tle book are to be commended. Its object is to illustrate the persistence with which the idea of freedom has been pursued from time immemo- rial, by presenting a collection of clever essays or sketches of notable deeds of personal hero- ism in behalf of liverty. There is nothing abso- lutely new brouzht out, but the several authors contributing to the contents of the volume have invested their respective heroes with a fresh charm, althouzh they have not in all cases drawn as clear a line as might be desired, in the interest of historical accuracy, between the nar- rowly mains of fact and myth.

The hosts of delighted little folks who have followed the wanderings of the zinal Bodley family will be glad to accompany the offspring ofthat partyin their journeyings to forelgn parts, undertaken, inan imaginary point of time, some thirty years later. The first volume of the hew series is devoted, as its title indicates, to a visit to the low countries, prefaced with just enough historical information to show the rela- tions originally existing between th the American colonies, and gives. promise that the new series will be as interesting and as popular as were the first five volumes. Instruction and entertainment are adintrably combined in all Mr. Seudder’s literary efforts: The Licht of ‘ashington: J. Under the Sun” is one of the most charming books of the year. The author has been almost everywhere, has an appreciative eye for nature, e and inanimate, a keen sense of humor, ried Industry, admirable powers ot de- ion, and fine literary style. He does not, therefore, give us a mere journal of travel, bald and commonplace, padded here and there with guidebook platitudes. He places before us, in- 5 a delightful sketches, based largely ‘ations of @ prolonged resi in India, with hints of adventures in. other lands that read almost like achapter from ‘Robinson Crusoe.” The fact that the book is warmly praised by so excellent a Judze of its quality, both as to matter and style, as Edwin Arnold is certain to insure it a warm reception from the literary public: but It really does not need any endorsement.

The majority of American readers will, we think, be puzzled to understand the praise which has been lavished upon this book by the English crities. This will be partly due, doubtless, to want of knowledge of English nature and Eng- lish ways, upon which it is largely based, but to a still greater extent to an honest difference of opinion as to its literary merits. It is a humor- ous account of how a father and son changed positions, through the agency of a wonderful talisman. The father, in the son’s body, is sent back to school, where he 1s compelied to regard matters and things trom the schocl-boy stand- point, while the son, who takes the place of the pompous merehant, does not find the cares and responsibilities of his new place so agreeable as he expected. The moral is obylous. Both are bettered by their experience. The work is fairly well done, but not as daintily as a Frenchman, pee About, for example, could have ad it. From the publishers, Messrs. J. R. Osgood & Co., we have received some of the advance sheets of their torthcoming edition of the bered, entrusted by Mrs. Garfield to Dr. Hins- dale, long friend of her husband, and thoroughly familiar with his habitsand modes of thought; of paper and pinned to it the sen- ce: “N.

Red Book” series, in which the double purpose of advertising the attractions of its several routes and at the same time furnishing current political informa- tion to the general reader is served. The latest issue before us Is devoted to the political statis- ties of New York, which have special interest just now. on account of the approaching elec- tion in that state.

"TH285 is Bur Mr. George Howells has published in the Nineteenth Century an account of the trades unions of England, which indicgtes that their conditions much better than hascommonly been supposed. The membership in all ot them he puts at more than 1,100,000 men, and, by the regular monthly payments of these, the unions are in receipt of an aggregate Income of about $10,000,000 per annum, Tie common assump- tion is that these unions have no other purpose but to encourage strik ind, though it is true that the protection of its members tn the matter of wages is the chief reason for the formation ofa union, ft is also worthy of note that only a small part of the money raised is used In sus- taining conflicts between labor and capital. Thus, in the returns for some years of a num- ber of the larger associations, it is found th: while about 50 per cent of the outgo went to sustain members who were simply out of work through the accidents of trade, 25 per cent to help those who were sick and $ per cent each for funeral charges and for a superannuation fund, only 6 per cent was paid out on account of strikes. ir.

The office, according to Mr. Howells, is one which involves an enormous amount of hard work, while the aver salary of the men upon whom the doing of this work falls is not’over $1,000 per annum.
