One of the latcst and best of these is the handsome little volume with the above title. It is just the thing for college students, and for scholars in general, for it is f uil of sensible hints and suggestions upon those thiugs they are brought most in contac' with. It is not Ulied with dry book lore, but on the eontrary the polnts are boiled down, and withal made sointeresthig that there is dauger of disobeying one of its own laws by reading more at a time than can be digested. The main subjects treated are: " How to Read," " Wtiat to Read," " Bibliography," " The Public Library and How to use It." By the style it is plain that the author is at home among books and is a lover of them, so this feeling gives his remarks a weight which is easily sustained by their patent practicabilitv.
