Mr. Murray has chosen the north-western side of the continent for the scene of this book; a region of country which is little known by the average reader, but which in its scenery, its game, and its vast material and undeveloped resources, supplies the author with a subject which has not been trenched upon even by the magazines, and which he has treated in that lively and spirited manner for which he is especially gifted. The result is a volume full of novel information of the country, humorous and pathetic incidents, vivid descriptions of its magnificent scenery, shrewd forecasts of its future wealth and greatness when developed, illustrated and embellished with such lavishness and artistic elegance as has never before been attempted in any similar work in this country. * * * * * =ADIRONDACK TALES.= By W.
