Uncle Towser. By the Rev. A. N. Malan. (Religious Tract

Society.)—There is some very good fun in Uncle Towser, and Mr. Malan knows schoolboy life too well not to make some capital hits. Jemmy Browser and Lurcher, the overgrown duffer, are capital specimens of the troublesome schoolboy, and will excite many a laugh amongst contemporaries. Mr. Malan is often humorous, always lively, and occasionally points a moral just at the proper time, when the iron is hot. Every one can learn something from Uncle Towser, and every one will be amused with it, and the genial uncle who gives his name to the story; and boys will gloat over Jemmy Browser's mistakes.
