Alton Park; Or, Conversations On Religious And Moral Subjects. Chiefly designed for the amusement and instruction of young ladies. New edition. Philadelphia: Eugene Cummiskey. Pp. 408.
_Alton Park_ is so well and favorably known to Catholics, that praise at our hands and at this late day is supererogatory. We must, however, compliment the publisher for the very handsome style in which he has brought out this volume.
A Pysche Of To-day. By Mrs. C. Jenkin, author of "Who breaks pays," "Skirmishing," "Once and Again," "Cousin Stella." New York: Leypoldt & Holt. Pp. 280. 1868.
This tale represents to us certain aspects of Parisian life, which are interesting, not as always exciting pleasurable emotions, but as being evidently drawn from life. The story is told in a pleasing, unaffected manner, and the main incidents are only too probable.
Logic For Young Ladies. Translated from the French of Victor Doublet, Professor of Belles-Lettres. New York: P. O'Shea. Pp. 148. 1868.
An excellent text-book; clear, simple, comprehensive. We would suggest, however, in order that its sphere of usefulness may not be even apparently circumscribed, that the title for the next edition read, not "Logic for Young Ladies," but "Logic for the Young."
