The shrubs described are those which find
their most congenial home in the region ex-
tending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mis-

arrangement is by families, each member of
which is analyzed scientifically and described
popularly so that its characteristics are made
easily intelligible to the amateur nature-lover.

A poetic drama in four acts by a young

island of Leucadia in the fifteenth century, and

To this time no lawyer, nor any economist,
has ever searched out the origin and develop-
ment of legal tender in English institutional
history. This important task has been car-
ried out in a most painstaking and accurate
way by Miss Breckinridge. She finds the ori-
gin of the power in the prerogative of the
crown, and traces its subsequent history in
Great Britain, in the American Colonies, the
Confederation, the Constitutional Convention
of 1789, and in the United States to the pres-
ent time in regard to (i) metallic money,
(2) government paper, (3) notes of state

the federal government.

Wagner, C. The better way, [L'ami;] from

Clure, P. & Co. 12, $1 net.
"The message of this French pastor, Charles
Wagner, is sane, sound and uplifting. Spirit-
ual, without mysticism, ' intellectual, without
pedantry, he deals rationally and sympathet-
ically wjth practical events and the complica-
tions of modern life. His words are earnest,
direct, optimistic, with an optimism born of
experience,, and exhale a firm faith in' God,
and a love of humanity in the truest sense.
Here is no message to induce contemplation,
but a strong, sure stimulus to well-directed,
active, unremitting efifort for the cultivation
of the best and highest aspirations of the
heart. And this not by a system of mere
ethics, but upon the basis of a sturdy faith in
God. In the original the title of the book is
L'Ami.' The Friend, and the conversations
between this unknown companion, this other
self, are the medium through which the au-
thor expresses himself. The translation has
been made with sympathy and perception."

original. It has been his first aim to state as
simply and definitely as possible the teaching

in the efifort both to discover and to apply that
teaching he has endeavored to follow the
guidance of the Universal Church. This is
the standard to which the Church of England

Harper & Brothers are bringing out an-
other edition of Henry Mills Alden's remark-
able philosophical work, "God in His World,"
which has been one of the most widely-read
books of serious import produced in Arner-
ica. Few of its readers, however, associate
the author with the editor of Harper's Maga-
zine, although they are one and the same.
Mr. Alden has edited Harpefs for about
thirty-four years. It is only during the past
three years that he has actually written for
the magazine, but his "Study," with its schol-
arly dissertations on various topics of imme-
diate interest, has become a necessary ad-
junct to Harper's.
Henry Holt & Co. have just published the
third volume, covering the period May, 1763,
to July, 1778, of the "Biographical Sketches
of the' Graduates of Yale College, with an-
nals of the college history," by Franklin Bow-
ditch Dexter. They will publish shortly a
new book by Charles Battell Loomis, author
of "The Four Masted Catboat," and also well
known as a humorous reader. The volume
will be entitled "Cheerful Americans," and
will include his stories of "Americans
Abroad," that were so popular in the Century,
and a number of other tales, including "A
Man of Putty." "The Men Who Swapped
Languages," "When the Automobile Ran
Down," and "Veritable Quidors." with twen-
ty-five illustrations by Florence Scovel Shinn,
Fanny Y. Corey, F. L. Fithian and F. R.
Gruger.
Drexel Biddle has brought out Alfred
Henry Lewis's long-promised story, "Peggy
O'Neal," with illustrations in color by Henry
Hutt. Peggy O'Neal was known by Wash-
ingtonians in Andrew Jackson's day as the
wife of Secretary Eaton, of the President's
cabinet. The story deals with the war against
her, carried on by the women of Washington,
who for the reason that Peggy O'Neal was
younger, handsomer and more vivacious than
they, decided that their own social supremacy
depended on combatting the young woman.
They based their warfare on the fact that her
father had been a tavern-keeper, and that the
gay Peggy was altogether too frivolous of
character.
D. Appleton & Co. have just ready "The
Captain's Toil-Gate," a posthumous novel by
Frank R. Stockton, the scene of which is laid
partly in Washington, but mainly in that part
of West Virginia in which the author spent
the last three years of his life, with a memoir
b}' Mrs. Stockton and a bibliography of Stock-
ton's writings ; "The Autobiography of Joseph
Le Conte." the celebrated geologist, edited by
William Dallam Armes ; also, "The Story of
a Grain of Wheat," a history of the subject
from the earliest times, by William C. Edgar,
editor of the Northwestern Miller. They also
announce that "The Life of Admiral Porter,"
in their Great Commanders Series, will posi-
tively be published this month. It has been
eagerly awaited for several years.
