Boyhood. By Ennis Richmond. (Longmans and Co.)—Mrs. Richmond calls her

book "a plea for continuity in education," meaning education and higher sense of spiritual and moral training. There is much excellent counsel in it, which parents will do well to ponder and put to practical use. It would take us too far to discuss any one of the important subjects which he treats. It must be enough to commend the book generally.
