My Brides. 1 vol. By Emily G. Nesbitt. (Newby.)—This is
a love story, or rather a succession of love stories, simply and prettily told. The narrator, for the form of the book is autobiographical, tells us how certain young ladies of her acquaintance—three, we think, is the num- ber—became brides, what difficulties they had to overcome, whether they changed their minds, what sort of fortune they had in the venture. The story of her own life runs like a thread through the whole, and we can follow it with interest. In fact, she is a natural, unaffected, agreeable person, whose fortunes we follow with pleasure from the time when we first make her acquaintance as a " tom-boy " not yet in her teens, till she meets with the reward she deserves by being married to a clever doctor who has a good practice "not far from the British Museum."
