BOOK NOTICES. Senora Villena, and Gray; An Old Haven romance, two volumes in one. By the author of ’ Real People." White, Stokes A Allen, Publishers. New York. The author of these interesting volumes is Mr. Marion Wilcox, who is rapidly be coming known as a writer of much more than average merit. He shows a skill in his work that is felt rather than seen. “Senora Villena” is a continuation of “Real People. “Gray, ail Old Haven romance” is a story of brilliancy and power. The two are combined in a volume gotten up in their usual excellent style by White, Stokes & Allen, New York publishers. We have had the pleasure hitherto to notice “Real Peo ple,” a most charming work, and in these last two productions Mr. Wilcox has pre served his’ piquant style, and has presented the public with a volume of rare excellence, interesting from one cover to the other. Critics of fiction will find in this new effort of Mr. Wilcox much to admire, little to find fault with and nothing to condemn. The books shows originality, strength, dramatic brilliancy, and is clean and readable throughout. Faust, the Leoend and the Poem. By William S. Walsh, with etchings by Hermann Faber. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. Cloth $3. Seldom is there issued from the press a finer specimen of the printer’s and binder’s arts than is presented in the above work. The binding is superb, the paper heavy and fine, and the printing as nearly perfect as it is possible for it to be. The chief attraction of this volume, however, is found in the etchings. There are six of them, and they alone are more than v.orth the price of the volume. For a Christmas present “Faust,' as presented by J. B. Lippincott Company, could not well be surpassed. The Story of Keedon Bluffs. By Charles Eg bert Craddock, author of “In the Tennessee Mountains." etc. Houghton Mifflin A Cos.. Boston and New York, Publishers. Wylly A Clark, Savannah: Cloth SI.OO. This charming story is one of the best of the famous Tennessee author’s. The portraits of character are very fine, the dialogue is bright and interesting, and the plot is one with which no fault is likely to bo found. The reading of one of the stories of this author excites a desire to read others. There is a flavor about them that is very at tractive. Paul Patoff, by F. Marion Crawford, author of "A Roman Siuger," etc., Houghton, Mifflin A Company, Boston uud New York, publishers. Wylly A Clark, Savannah. Cloth, 51.50. There arc few writers of fiction who have more enthusiastic readers than Mr. Craw ford. He has the fat uity of pleasing. While his fiction is pure, it is deeply interesting. The above story will bA found to be one of his best, and it will repay perusal. There are no dull parts iu it. and the reader will find himself all the time anxious to reach the end, and sorry when he does reach it. Mingo and Other Sketches. By Joel Chandler Hams. Boston: TicknorACo. All the papers in this volume are com pounded of laughter and sentiment, the lat ter element somowliat predominating. “Mingo" is an exquisite little sketch in which the poor whites, the quality and the faithful old negro are finely contrasted, and in this occurs one of Mr. Harris’ most brilliant strokes—an inspiration which may be called a flash of genius. Prince Little Boy and Other Tales Oct or Fairyland. By S. Weir Mitchell, M. D., LL. D. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. These charming fniry tales are well ealeu-' lated to interest and amuse children, with out in any respect arcusing their fears. They are tales which children can hear re peated time and time again without loss of pleasure. Even young people oould find much in this volume that would claim their attention. * THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1887. Prince Coastwinb’s Victory By Miss Miles H. McKamara. Belford, Clark A Cos., Chicago and New York. This pretty little story is superbly illus trated, and is printed on magnificent pajier. The binding is also a work of art. The story and illustrations will interest the young folks, and the beauty of the volume will attract the attention of the lovers of the beautiful. Ten Days in a Mad-House; or, Nellie Ely’s Ex perience on Blackwell's Island. Norman L. Munro, publisher, 24 and 26 Vandewater street, New York. Paper, 25c The author of this little work spent more than a week in the pauper mad-house on Blackwell’s Island, New York harbor, and she gives a graphic account of how pauper lunatics are treated. The Gaverocks. By S. Bsring-Gould. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. Paper, 25c. This is one of Lippineott’s series of select novels, and a very interesting story it is. The eighth number of Battles and Leaders of the Civil War is now ready for subscrib ers and purchasers. It deals quite exten sively with the naval features of the war, and is a very interesting * number. The Century Company, New York. MAGAZINES. The December Century opens with a frontispiece portrait of Lincoln from a photograph made about the time of his in auguration, which event is the subject of the present part of the Lincoln history. Me sre. Nicolay and Hay continue in this number the promised publication of new material. Prof. Charles W. Shields, of Princeton College, contributes an important and interesting paper, entitled “The United Churches of the United States,” being a re view of the Century letters on Christian unity, which were written as comments on Ids former article of the same title. Mr. Kennan’s second paper deals with the “Prison Life of the Russian Revolutionists,” and answers the question, “What, is the specific nature of the wrongs which call forth, especially among the youth of Russia, such manifestations of fierce, passionate hatred for the Tsar, aud which inspire such persistent and desperate attempts to take his life l” An illustrated paper on the Sea of Galilee is contributed by Edward L. IV iison. The narrative is the result of personal obser vation and experience in Palestine, during which Mr. Wilson made a large number of photographs, which Have been utilized iu il lustrations which accompany the article. Mr. Brauder Matthews contributes an inter esting study of journalism entitled “Notds on Parisian Newspapers.” Mrs. M. G. Van Rensselaer writes this month, in her series on the English cathedrals, about Durham, of which she says: "Among all the cathe drals of England Durham is perhaps the most imposing, and its situation is magnifi cent, past rivalry.” The fiction of this num ber is especially interesting. The number contains no battle paper, but, as announced, a few pages of “Memoranda on the Civil War,” including a demonstration of the Confederate strength in the Atlanta cam paign, by Maj. E. C. Dawes, of Cincinnati; a rejoinder to Gen. Robertson, by CoL Mosby; a short article by Gen. Robert Ran som on the service of his division at Fred ericksburg, together with anecdotes. The Century Company, Union square, New York. The readers of St. Nicholas will discover in the December number that Mi's. Frances Hodgson Burnett has created a worthy com panion character to “Little Lord Fauntle roy” in the heroine of her story, "Sara Crewe: or. What Happened at Miss Minch in’s,” and, as in the earlier story,the author’s conceptions are aided in their setting forth by the work of the illustrator, Mr. R. B. Birch. Mr. Frank R. Stockton administers a salutary little lesson to both young and old in one of his admirable stories, “The Clocks of Rondaine,” the first part of which appears in this number; and the Rev. Washington Gladden, in “Santa Claus in the Pulpit,” reveals the good old saint in a new role. H. H. Boyesen tells the strange story of “The Bear that Had a Bank Ac count,” while J. T. Trowbr dge gives an ac count of “How the Hart Boys Saw Great Salt Lake,” aud Sarah J. Pritchard draws an interesting sketch of Puritan days and of the difficulties which attended the setting up of “The First Christmas Tree in New England.” There is the usual complement of short sketches, jingles and pictures. The Century Cos., Union Square, New York. Christmas Wide Awake is made up of thirty-five poems, stories, sketches, papers of all sorts long and short, and pictures fifty-seven. Both writers and artists are such as stand for timely help along the highway of life with good cheer in the bar gain. If such an amount of such work of pen and pencil was made into Christmas books, they would cost as many dollars as cents in Wide Awake. There is many a boy and girl who will find iu its 32 pages not only Christmas delight but hints to ward wider fortune. D. Lothrop Company, Boston. With the December number, The Writer ends its first volume. The magazine was started as a sixteen-page monthly. It has been increased in sizo to thirty-two pages, and the success that has warranted this en largement assures for it a prosperous fu ture.
