CURRENT LITERATURE.
GIFT-BOOKS.
Fifty-two More Stories for Boys, and Fifty-two More Stories for Girls, are continuations of two volumes which appeared with similar titles last year. Both are edited by Mr. Alfred H. Miles, and are published by Messrs. Hutchinson and Co. The variety of authorship is considerable. Thirty-one names appear in the list of writers who have been laid under contribution for the " Boys," and a yet greater number for the " Girls." Many of them are unknown to us, especially in the second volume, and we venture to conjecture that their reputation belongs to the other side of the Atlantic. Of English names we recognise, among others, Messrs. Fenn, W. H. G. Kingston, Gordon Stables, Edwin Paxton Hood, Rosa Mulholland, and Sarah Doudney. We have no hesitation in recommending the two volumes.
