England: As Seen By An American Banker.

This book of fresh impressions might well be called "Sight Drafts on
England." It is certainly a mine of accurate detail The author is
enthusiastic in his devotion to the facts which escape the ordinary
eye, and brings his materials from the most unfamiliar sources. His
description of the Bank of England, for instance, is as interesting as
it is valuable, and contains a large amount of information of unusual
freshness.

Treasure Thoughts.
=From Canon Farrar.= SPARE MINUTE SERIES. 12mo, CLOTH, $1.00.
These are vital thoughts that have been gathered by Rose Porter from
Canon Farrar's writings and sermons. The utterances of the present
Archdeacon of Westminster have been greatly considered by people
of all classes, creeds, and tastes, and this volume is likely to
gain a permanent place in the people's literature. His sympathetic
appreciation of American institutions, together with his eloquent
eulogy of the life and character of General Grant, recently delivered
in Westminster, have greatly quickened American interest in all his
expressions of opinion, belief and counsel. This pithy volume is
well-named.
