Adventures of a Perambulator. By Mrs. Adams-Acton. (Rout- ledge.)—We are
assured that in this pleasant volume we have "the true details of a family history," and the statement is per- fectly credible. The book is a vely natural account of the doings of a young family with a perambulator, of which they are greatly proud, chiefly at the seaside. Arran is the favourite resort of the family, although circumstances occasionally compel the parents to take or send them elsewhere, as to St. Aubin in France. The adventures of the perambulator are all quite possible, except perhaps the first, in which a young man falls down in an epileptic fit and crushes the little carriage, and very nearly Baby as well. The quarrels and the reconciliations, the chatter and the go of children, are admirably reproduced ; perhaps there is just a trifle too much of them.
