[2] _West Point and the Military Academy_. By EDWARD S. FARROW, U.S.A. Second Edition. Revised. 16mo, pp. 75. New York: John Wiley & Sons.
Mr. Knox has become well known to Young America as the author of two very popular books published by Harper & Brothers under the general titles of _The Boy Travellers in the Far East_; and we are confident that his new volume, _The Young Nimrods in North America_,[3] will find an equally warm reception. It is a story of hunting adventures on land and sea, and is designed to instruct the boys of America in the ways of the hunter's life. A large amount of natural history has been interwoven with the stories of hunting and fishing, the author having sought to instruct as well as to amuse his readers. The illustrations have been carefully chosen with a view to a correct representation of the objects described. The work is unexceptionable in its moral tendency, and it may be safely placed in the hands of boys and girls.
