The First Lady of the Land. By E. A. Eatery.

(Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co.) —This is one of the little books of which we may expect this year a profuse supply. It contains a brief sketch of the Queen's life (the only difficulty being, of course, to choose among the abundance of materials), written in good taste, and furnished with a number of illustrations which, if not remarkable from the artistic point of view, are certainly interesting.
