"Now Aprile is over and melted the snow,
And outer Noo Bedford we shortly must tow;
Yes, out o' Noo Bedford we shortly must clear,
We're the whalers that never see wheat in the ear."

MARTINEAU, HARRIET.
Feats on the Fiord.

A vivid picture of Norwegian life of the eighteenth century. Full of
action and interest, and conveying much information as to Northern

MARTINEAU, HARRIET.
The Peasant and the Prince.
Houghton. .40

Whatever we may think of the literary quality of Miss Martineau's
work, the practical achievements of her life were remarkable....
The Peasant and the Prince is a good example of her method. It is

outbreak of the Revolution. Only the first part can be called
fiction, and that only in a superficial sense.... So deep a (p. 167)
sympathy, so passionate an earnestness, informs much of her work,
that it is still worth reading for its own sake as well as for the
sake of the distinguished woman who produced it.
H.W. BOYNTON.

The book is extremely interesting.
