The Street of Human Habitations. By Ray S. Lineham. (Chapman

and Hall.)—Mrs. Lineham takes us through a course of prehistoric research, with special regard to the dwellings of man. We are introduced to the "Men of Bone and the Men of Stone." From these we proceed to the "Men of Metal" and the "Age of Iron." Travelling across the border of the historic we come first, as is right, to Egypt, thence to the "Waters of Babylon," thence to Phcenicia. After this we find ourselves in Persia, and the goal of our journeyings is Japan. All this is told in a very lively fashion, and well illustrated by aid of the pencil. Readers will find a popular and not unscientific account of a highly interesting subject in Mrs. Lineham's book.
