Davy and the Goblin. By Charles E. Carryl. (Ticknor and

Co., Boston, 17.8 A.)—The second title of this book, "What Followed Reading 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,'" sufficiently indicates its character. Perhaps the illustrations are the best part of it. But the story is a fair specimen of its kind. That the volume, on the whole, is handsome and well got up there can be no doubt.
