We have received an illustrated edition of one of Miss

L. M. Alcott's books. This is the ROSE in Bloom (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co., 6s.) The illustrations are by Harriet Roosevelt Richards. The Rose in Bloom first appeared in 1876, and was, it may be remembered, a sequel to "Eight Cousins." It never attained the fame of "Little Women," but it is well worth reading.
