Bellamy, C: J. An experiment in marriage: a romance. Albany, N. Y., Albany Book Co., 1889. 286 p. D. cl., $1; pap., 50c.

C: J. Bellamy is the brother of Edward Bellamy, who wrote "Looking backward;" he is also the author of "The Breton mills" and "A moment of madness." This is an audacious treatment of the subject of love and marriage. In the guise of a story a history is given of a socialistic experiment made in California. The place is called Grape Valley-the men and women only living together as husbands and wives as long as love lasts: the marriage is easily dissolved and another as quickly entered into. The children are cared for by the State. Boehmer, G: H. Report on Smithsonian exchanges for the year ending June 30, 1887. From the Smithsonian Report for 1886-'87. Wash., D.

Partly an explanation and partly a vindication of the "Salvation Army." The author is the wife of Marshal Booth, who is the son of General William Booth, founder and leader of the whole movement. The book is full of incidents and deeply interesting.

"Blind love" is the novel Wilkie Collins was writing for the Illustrated London News at the time of his death. Although left unfinished, there were numerous notes by the author, and the plot written out in full, enabling another to finish the work. This task was intrusted to Walter Besant, who has followed Wilkie Collins' notes to the letter. The tale is of Ireland and the Irish Invincibles. There is also a love affair, which has many episodes.

This romance was prepared for the press by Mr. Herbert in 1856, but commercial disaster interfered with its publication. It is now first given to the public, although its author has long been dead.

A compilation from material scattered through many newspapers and covering many months. The extracts are not only from Stanley's letters, but from those of other members of the expedition which left England in January of 1887, to rescue Emin Bey from the hordes of the Mahdi and the young King of Uganda. This little compilation trenches in no way upon the important history of the expedition Mr. Starley has in hand.

Walker, Francis A. First lessons in political economy. N. Y., H: Holt & Co., 1889. c. 8+323 p. D. (Amer. sci. ser., elementary course.) cl., $1.25.

For use in high schools and academies. In preparing a text-book for students of fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen years, the author has not thought it necessary to make the work childish. It is no "primer of political economy" which is offered, but a substantial course of study. The chief characteristics are: a clear arrangement of topics; a simple, direct, and forcible presentation of the questions successively raised; the avoidance, as far as possible, of certain metaphysical distinctions which the author has found perplexing to students of even a greater age; a frequent repetition of cardinal doctrines; and a liberal use of concrete illustrations, drawn from facts of common experience or observation.
