He com mands an easy narrative style, makes no attempt at fine writing, is always unaffected, sincere, cordial, and never fails to win the sympathy and respect of the reader by his natural manner, his large knowledge of men and affairs, his high tone of character, and his purity and soundness of principles. -New York Tribune.

Sheep, 150 This outline of the law of partnership has been sketched for the use of the business community. It aims to give nothing more than a general view of the principles on which it is based, and the rules for their application. It is not designed to supersede the necessity of professional advice. On the contrary, its chief value will consist in pointing out the occasions when such assistance is needed, and in enhancing the appreciation of it when rendered. CONTENTS: I. Of the Nature of Partnership, and by whom and how it may be formed. II. Of Persons Liable as Partners to the Public. III. Of the Different Kinds of Partnerships and Partners. IV.

JOURNEY TO THE OHIO COUNTRY. Journal and Letters of Colonel JOHN MAY, of Boston, relative to Two Journeys to the Ohio Country, in 1788 and 1789, with a Biographical Sketch by Rev. Richard Edes, of Boston, Mass., and Illustrative Notes by Wm. M. Darlington, of Pittsburgh, Penn. 8vo. Cloth. Colonel May was a native of Pomfret, in Connecticut. He became a resident of Boston at an early age. He often felt a desire to remove to lands which he owned "at Muskingum," in Ohio, but his wife's friends opposed the measure. According to his biographer, he was brusque in manner, hasty and choleric in temper, but so genial 2.00 and kindhearted that he was much beloved by those who knew him best. In the spring of 1788, Colonel May left home on a tour to the Western regions. The journal is an interesting record of that tour, with its stirring events and the daily life of those pioneers who settled Marietta, at the mouth of the Muskingum.-Historical Record. METTENHEIMER. SAFETY BOOK-KEEPING. SAFETY BOOK-KEEPING. Being a Complete Exposition of Book-Keepers' Frauds-how Committed, how Discovered, how Prevented. Also, containing a Safe Method of Managing the Cash Department of Retail Stores; a Convenient Method of Keeping a Purchase Account for Commission-Houses, and a Collection Account for Bad Debts. With other Suggestions of Value to Merchants and Book-Keepers in the Managements of Accounts. By H. J. METTENHEIMER. 18mo.

The suggestions made are shrewd and practical, all tending to these two rules, which can not be too forcibly urged upon business men: insist upon minute entries of transactions, and upon an orderly and systematic practice throughout; then use your own eyes, and put unquestioning trust in nobody. No man is fit to be in business who is either too busy, too unskillful, or too indolent to sharply scrutinize with frequency the inside of his affairs. We see no MINOR. reason why this little book should not help to make each man his own detective.-The Financier. This little work, it is certain, might be studied with advantage by all men in business, and there is reason to believe that, by enabling them to audit their own accounts, it would save many from falling victims to the long-continued dishonesty of employes. -British Trade Journal. ATHOTHIS: A SATIRE ON MODERN MEDICINE. THOMAS C. MINOR, M.D. 12mo. It is not often that we are called upon to read a medical novel, pur et simple, but "Athothis" is a novel-a work of fictionbut fiction of such startling reality as to come within the region of fact. It is a dream, whose absolute realism may be demonstrated in every-day life. It is so much in accord with our own observations as to seem to us the expression of our own thoughts. We believe that we can give the names in our city of those whose portraits and peculiarities are so graphically drawn, because they exist in every community. It is this faculty of portraiture of real life that has made Dickens so famous; the creations of an active fancy, that finds prototypes in every community. It is a novel that will be read by every physician with absorbing interest, and by the laity with amazement, that any professional should dare to speak MINOR. By 125 so plainly. It is a truism as well as a satire. and is intensely interesting. It evinces a wonderful knowledge of the medical writers of all the centuries, from the paphyri of Egyptian tombs to the preseut day, and weaves the ancient transmutation of soul through the whole story with happy effect. We advise our medical brethren to read it. Each one will find himself depicted, very possibly not to his own complacency.-Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery. This is a book such as the doctor, tired of patients, work, and scientific reading, could take up with pleasure and read more than once through. Its style is excellent, and the author treats the subject with such vivacity that one is never tired. Take it to the country or seashore with you. It will do you good.-Philadelphia Medical Journal.

From a careful survey made in 1889, with an account of its Mounds, Graves, etc. Illustrated with a new topographical map and 35 full-page phototypes. By WARREN K. MOOREHEAD, of the Smithsonian Institution. 8vo. Cloth. This volume is one of the most interesting and valuable publications on the Ohio earth-works yet issued from the press. We cordially commend it to the attention of students and scientists every-where.-Magazine of American History. Mr. Moorehead has generally confined himself to fact; telling what he did and saw, and leaving theories and speculations to others. He has done a great service by this work, and has laid the results open to all in the publication of his history of that labor. The many illustrations enable a clear understanding of every explanation of the printed page.-Magazine of Western History. The book proves to be the result of a very careful and detailed investigation, for which ethnologists will be thankful to the author, even should his theories not find general acceptance. The endeavor, which appears throughout the book, to represent the finds and the methods in which they have been obtained as clearly as possible, which is supported by the excellent illustrations ac companying the descriptions, gives the work value aside from all theoretical considerations. Science. Those who take up Mr. Moorehead's book, if interested at all in the subject, will be pleased with the long array of facts that have been gathered by him; and the reader can picture to himself Fort Ancient when it 2.00 was the site of a busy people-can see with what weapons they fought, with what implements they toiled, with what trinkets they adorned themselves, and how their dead were buried. Mr. Moorehead's book will serve an important, if secondary, purpose, if it shall stimulate research in our country.-The American. The stations-more than four hundred in number-and bearings and distances are all set down in an orderly fashion, and so far as we know any thing to the contrary, the calculations are correctly given. Assuming this fact, Mr. Moorehead is to be congratulated upon the fidelity with which he has performed his task, and we cheerfully accord him our meed of praise.-The Nation. The general conclusions drawn by this enterprising and careful scientist are interesting.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Antiquarian literature has received in this volume of Mr. Moorehead a valuable contribution. In the completeness of its topographical work, its fine illustrations, its thorough excavations made most intelligently, the work is one fully deserving large praise. The writer has sweat and delved amid the same interesting ruins forty years ago, and longed to have solved many many things Mr. Moorehead has determined. — Chicago Inter-Ocean, The Review of General Sher man's Memoirs, Examined Chiefly in the Light of its own Evidence.

BOYNTON. MORGAN. THE SHAKESPEAREAN MYTH; or, William Shakespeare and Circumstantial Evidence. By APPLETON MORGAN, A.M., LL.B., author of " Law of Literature," Notes to "Best's Principles of Evidence," etc. Second edition. 12mo. Cloth. The theory certainly has grown in importance of late years. It is no longer flouted as impossible. It is admitted as ingenious, as possible, and even as highly probable by many persons who have gone carefully into the question. It is one of the many puzzles of history and literature which are full of attraction to certain minds. It is very doubtful whether the question can ever be definitely settled. Those, however, who feel inclined to make some little investigation for themselves into the matter, will find Mr. Appleton Morgan's volume exceedingly interesting. Whoever takes the trouble of going through it will find practically all the facts necessary to enable him to form his own judgment in the matter.-Westminster Review. Such works can be read only as strange examples of entertaining paradox; but we must say that in the present instance the paradox is well worked out and cleverly sustained, and persons who, in this age teeming with books really worth attention from educated men, have leisure for such amusements, may occupy some hours profit 2.00 ably in studyfng the theory of the "Shakespearean Myth."—London Saturday Review. Under the title "The Shakespearean Myth," Mr. Appleton Morgan, who is known as a writer on the "Law of Literature," and the "Principles of Evidence," has collected a large amount of evidence of various kinds to prove that Shakespeare did not write the plays attributed to him. He discusses the theory that they were written by Bacon alone, and the theory that they were written by Bacon and other literary men of that age. The decision to which he comes, and to which he brings facts, satire, criticism, and strong feeling, is that Shakespeare was the editor, and not the author, of the plays. Shakespeare, the rough, uneducated wit, added the coarser and more popular characters and scenes, and it is doubtful whether these liberally edited works can ever be apportioned among the true authors. Mr. Morgan is an enthusiastic admirer of the Shakespeare plays. The book is interesting, whether one agrees with it or not, summing up, as it does, all the doubts in the question that have for a hundred years been made public.-Boston Daily Advertiser. MURDOCH. THE STAGE; or, Recollections of Actors and Acting from an Experience of Fifty Years. A Series of Dramatic Sketches. By JAMES E. MURDOCH. With a Biographical Sketch of the Author. By J. BUNTING. Portrait. 12mo. Cloth. The publication of Mr. James E. Murdoch's recollections of actors and acting gathered from an experience of fifty years is a welcome addition to the library of the drama. As an actor eminent in both tragedy and comedy, and as an elocutionist of force and authority, Mr. Murdoch's place among his fellows is well assured; and his opinions therefore should command the respectful hearing of actor, critic and public. -New York Times. This work is of great merit and interest. Besides the purely critical consideration of histrionic notabilities, Mr. Murdoch has gived us also a goodly number of anecdotes hitherto unprinted.-The Nation. This is a book of very sensibly written gossip and memoranda by a veteran American actor of considerable note, and one who 2.00 has indeed studied the principles of acting, and has observed and understood many dif ferent methods of interpreting stage effects. There is about it no small amount of sagacity and common sense. So that it is in a greater degree than is usual with books upon the stage, a practical book of service to students of the profession, as well as fitted to give sufficient entertainment to idle quarters of an hour.-The Academy, London. We quit Mr. Murdoch's book with reluctance. It is so full of genial sketches and amusing anecdotes that theatrical readers in this country will find as much pleasure in its perusal as the countrymen of the author, whose quick, manly and unaffected style throughout adds to the interest of all he relates.-The Era, London. 133 Recipes for Preparing Sea MULERTT.
