Some Boys' Doings. By John Habberton. (J. Nisbet and Co.

2s. 6d.)—The "boys" are American boys, who have the advantage of living in a country where there is plenty of space and generally more opportunities of meeting with adventures than are conceded to their fellows over here. English boys, for instance, would not have a chance of dragging to shore logs that were floating down a river in flood, nor, it may be said, on the other hand, would they have met with the disappointment of finding that the said logs were not common property. Then we do not find treasures over here, perhaps because prudent fathers do not bury their savings but put them in the bank. Mr. Habberton is very entertaining with his narratives. Young readers will find them full of interest

• and of fun.
