Delightful Thaws. By E. F. Manning. Engraved by D. Cooper.

(Sampson Low and Co.)—This is a book of rhymes and pictures, both good in their way. The rhymes are, of course, of the tiers de societd kind, and are fluent and easy, though some are notably better than the others. The drawings are good, the female figures and faces particularly attractive. In short, the volume is both pleasant and pretty.
