Row to Do h. By Edward Everett Hall. (Boston, U.S.
: Osgood. London : Trabner.)—This is a very sensible little book. "How to Do It" means "how you are behave in society," "how you are to read," "how you are to live with your elders," and "how with children," dm. On all these points Mr. Hall gives very shrewd, kindly advice. The first chapter, with its description and reminiscences of Boston as it was, will charm every reader, and tempt him to go further, when indeed be Oall searcely fail to get much good. If we must be critical, we have to remark that Mr. Hall in his excellent summaries of eulaocis for reading is once or twice a little hazy about his facts. "The Coliseum built by T. Flavius Vespasian," for instance, is somewhat vague. There were two Emperors, both of whom might be described by that name,—Titus Vespasian the father, and Titus Vespasinn the son, and it so happens that the first began the Coliseum and the second finished it. Again, there must be some misprint here :—" Another-lam There are two Augaetiues. This is St. Austin, b. in fifth century, d. G01-614,"
