Women's Enterprise and Genius. By Annie M. Hone. (Hutchin- son

and Co.)—Miss Hone tells us a number of stories, more or less familiar, about the way in which women have made them- selves useful or famous, and sometimes both, in literature, art science, and other provinces of life. Some of her instances will be the more interesting because they are drawn from the other side of the Atlantic, and so will bring the reader into contact with circumstances that have a certain novelty. Miss Hone has some good advice to give, partly of her own devising, partly derived from the experience of others. Altogether, there is not a little to be road with profit and interest in this volume.
