F. Grant and Co. By George L. Chaney. (Boston, U.S.:
Roberts. London : Sampson Low and Co).—This is an amusing little story of American boy-life. Its second title is "Partnership," and it is described as a story for boys who "mean business." English boys are generally alive to the profitable nature of such a business as hen- keeping, when the father pays for the corn and buys the eggs, but they have not the genius for commerce which seems to develop itself in their Transatlantic cousins. Hence they may not only read F. Grant and co. with interest, but may learn something from it ; and as the anther proposes to himself, and carries out the intention of teaching boys how "to be honest partners in business "and "how to keep to their legitimate business," they will learn it without getting any lessons in the way of too much "smartness."
