understand, not more than thirty years of age, we may accept what he has already done as rather a promise of what he may yet do with labor and study. His "Ballad of Babie Bell" was deservedly popular; and if he shall concentrate his ability on some deliberately chosen theme instead of wasting it in fugitive and transient efforts, we see no reason why he should not acquire a prominent position in the poetic literature of our country. This edition of his poems is issued by Ticknor & Fields in their neat "blue and gold" style, and Mr. Aldrich well deserves the fellowship of the laureate fraternity

into which he is thus admitted.

The Ballad Book; a Selection of the Choicest British Ballads. Edited by William Allingham. Pp. xlvii., 397. Cambridge: Sever & Francis.

We have here an addition to the "Golden Treasury Series" of Sever & Francis. The beautiful style in which the volumes composing the series are manufactured is well known to tasteful bookbuyers. In a preface of over thirty pages, Mr. Allingham gives a pleasant sketch of the ballad literature of England and the Border country, with references to its sources, and the various collections and editions of ballads which have hitherto been made. In the course of these remarks, he says that "the largest collection of British ballads ever published has lately appeared in America, edited by Professor Child (8 vols., Philadelphia, 1857-59), who has done his work of amassment in an unpretending and gentlemanlike manner, copying down from the collections a variety of versions, adopting a quasi arrangement in 'books' and appendices, and packing a large miscellaneous heap of ballad things, good, bad, and indifferent, into eight trim volumes." present collection comprises seventy-six different productions, including under one head the eight connected ones, entitled "A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode," which are here given in their oldest form, except some slight correction of spelling. Indeed, all the poems are said to be presented "in at once the best and the most authentic attainable form." At the close of the volume is a brief note to each ballad containining historical and literary refereuces, which will interest both the student of this

department of our literature and the general reader. Summer Songs. By H. H. M. pp. 108. Philadelphia: Ashmead & Evans.

Though some of the pieces and particular stanzas in this collection have a certain sort of merit, yet, taken as a whole, the volume cannot be regarded as indicating a degree of poetic talent which gives promise of any celebrity. The publishers have issued the volume in neat style.

JUVENILE.

The Children in the Wood, told in Verse. By Richard
Henry Stoddard. pp. 8.

Old Mother Hubbard. pp. 16.
The House that Jack Built. pp. 16.

Hurd & Houghton, New York, have issued these. They are illustrated from original designs, by Mr. H. L. Stephens. Mr. Stoddard's version of the old story of the Children in the Wood is expressive, and possesses the literary merit which belongs to productions of its class. Mr. Stephens' graphic pictorial illustrations of the two familiar Nursery Legends are full of originality, spirit, and artistic thing we have seen in the comic periodicals of point. Indeed they are scarcely surpassed by anyEngland or the Continent.

The authors of them, at least and some of their previous productions have had quite a run.

Mr. Carleton is publishing a series of new works by Mr. Arthur. We have recently had "Out in the World," Light on Shadowed Paths," and "Nothing but Money." The present is a sequel to the volume last named. Mr. Arthur has been before the public so long as an author that his excellence in domestic fiction is generally known and

The Martyr of the Catacombs: a Tale of Ancient Rome. pp. 202. New York: Carlton & Porter. We have here, as the title indicates, a Roman story, no less interesting than instructive.

FICTION.

The Fables of Esop, with a Life of the Author. Illustrated with one hundred and eleven engravings from original designs by Herrick. pp. xiii., 311. N. Y. Hurd & Houghton.

In this volume we have a very neat edition of the old fabulist. It contains in thirty-five pages a life of Esop, and each of the fables is appropriately illustrated. The printing has been done at the Riverside Press, and the binding and general tasteful appearance of the volume correspond with the typography. So far as we know, it is in all respects the most attractive edition that has yet appeared

in this country.

The Hortons, or American Life at Home. By Davis B. Casseday. pp. 362. Philadelphia: James S. Claxton.

We cannot say that the chapters which we read induced us to go further into the volume, so we hand it over to our readers that they may, if so inclined, form their own opinion as to Mr. Casseday's very peculiar style.

There is excitement here, and plenty of incident. Some of the characters are rather broadly sketched, but the story is compounded in such sort that it will likely please the palate of the indiscriminate novel-reader.

The Humbugs of the World; an Account of Humbugs, Delusions, Impositions, Quackeries, Deceits, and Deceivers Generally in all Ages. By P. T. Barnum. pp. x., 424. New York: Carleton. Mr. Barnum is generally considered high authority on the subject of Humbug, at least in the sense which he contends is legitimate. Hence the present work may be regarded as particularly in his line. It is a very readable exposé of trade and business imposition, spiritualists, money manias, medicines and quacks, hoaxes, ghosts and witchcrafts, adventurers, and religious humbugs. In addition to this he gives us some personal reminiscences, in which Pease's Hoarhound Candy, Brandreth's Pills, Genin the hatter, Grizzly Adams, and a variety of other men and things-Phineas himself being the most conspicuous exemplar-illustrate the universality, the importance, and the dignity of humbug.
