Lost in African Jungles, By Fred Whishaw. (F. Warne and
Co.)—Having made twins the heroes of his tale, Mr. Whishaw
takes care that they play their part in the "Comedy of Errors:* The comedy begins at school, of course, and is acted again and again, and one cannot say that too much capital is made of the circumstance, considering that even a moderate likeness between brothers is the cause of much confusion. The jungle experiences will prove the most attractive to boys, but the whole story is quite readable and has plenty of incident in it.
We may generally commend to our readers a little volume, The Brotunings for the Young, edited by Frederic G. Kenyon (Smith, Elder, and Co.) It is divided almost equally between the two. " The Pied Piper of Hamelin," " How They Brought the Good News to Aix," " Herva Riel," " The Boy and the Angel," " A Grammarian's Funeral," are among the best known poems of
Robert Browning; among Elizabeth Barrett's are " The Romaunt of the Page," "The Romance of the Swan's Neat," "Hector in the Garden," " The Cry of the Children," and " Cowper's Grave."
