ot, as some of you may imagine,a grave and dry book of sermons. If your pastor or somedear friend should gather a number of young people abouthim, and talk to them of life and duty, of this world andthe next, of faults and how to overcome them, and thesatalks should be printed in a volume, the result would benot unlike this series of charming conversations. Mr. Abbotts works are on various topics. They tellabout different countries and ways of living, about bat-tles by land and sea, about scientific pursuits and experi-ments, and about g-reat discoverers and inventors. Infact, they form a complete library in which you may readof great men and beautiful women, may stroll throughgalleries of art, visit historic spots, or wander at your easearound the old farm. A set of them will entertain thechildren of a household through a series of years, for theycan not be exhausted at one reading, as merely amusingbooks often are. They are delightful volumes for read-ing aloud to a listening group.
