Mrs. Helen Campbell's "Prisoners of Poverty," a study of the condition of some of the lower strata of the laboring classes, particularly the working-women in the great cities of the United States, is supplemented with another volume, "Prisoners of Poverty Abroad," in which the life of working-women of European cities, chiefly London and Paris, is depicted with equally graphic and terrible truthfulness.
They are the result of fifteen months of travel and study, and are examples of Mrs. Campbell's well-known methods of examination and description. They paint a horrible picture, but a truthful one, and no person of even ordinary sensibilities can read these books without experiencing a strong desire to do something to abate the monstrous injustice which they describe.--_Good Housekeeping._

While foreign cookbooks are accessible to all readers of foreign languages, and American ones have borrowed from them for what we know as "French cookery," it is difficult often to judge the real value of a dish, or decide if experiment in new directions is worth while. The recipes in the following chapters, prepared originally for _The Epicure_, of Boston, were gathered slowly, as the author found them in use, and are most of them taken from family recipe-books, as valued abroad as at home. So many requests have come for them in some more convenient form than that offered in the magazine, that the present shape has been determined upon; and it is hoped they may be a welcome addition to the housekeeper's private store of rules for varying the monotony of the ordinary menu.

Women Wage-Earners. Their Past, their Present, and their Future. By HELEN CAMPBELL. 16mo. Cloth. Price, $1.00.
The writer describes employments in the factory and home, compares the condition of women workers here and abroad, dwells upon the evils and abuses in factory life and in general trades, and points out remedies and gives suggestions. The book is an expansion of a prize monograph for the American Economic Association, for which a reward was given in 1891, expanded to nearly double its original size. An introduction to it is contributed by Prof. Richard T. Ely. Nowhere else could one get so much information on this subject in so small a space as in this book.--_The School Journal._
