How to Publish a Book or Article, and How to

Produce a Play. By Leopold Wagner. (George Redway.)—There is a large amount of useful information in this book, and plenty of good advice. The statements are not always precisely accurate (on p. 161 we observe a figure which is susceptible of correction), but there can be no doubt that any one who aspires to write, be it a book or an article, can hardly do better than consult Mr. Wagner. We might write columns about it, but feel that, on the whole, it is better to limit ourselves to the simple counsel,—read it.
