This is a charming book, written in a fresh, unconventional, unsophis- ticated style, quite free from affecta- tion, and full of interesting and pic- turesque, though not unduly florid, passages of word-painting and des- cription. The authoress has couched her work in the form of a semi-dom- estic narrative, purporting to detail, the experiences of the Le Ford fam- ily, whilst camping out at Boundary Bay, on the United States frontier, near New Westminster in British Co- lumbia. Miss Herring has certainly endowed with vitality Mr. Le Ford, of Anglo-Canadian parent- age, his ailing wife, of German ex- traction, their twin elder daughters, Bess and Josie, the various younger members of the family, their Chines© servant Ke Tan, their English friends Mr. and Mrs. Wentworth, and the lat- ter's widowed cousin, Tom Temple- ton, who saves two of the children from being caught by the tide, and e- ventually maiTies Bess, Josie falling to the lot of a young clergyman fronr New Westminsner, Mr. Wilbert.

The authoress's manner is delightfully spontaneous, and eveu the most trivial incidents of the cftoiping-out life are made interesting nod pleasaut to read about. The de- scriptions of scenery, though, as al- ready noted, not overdone, are gi'a- jphio enough and often felicitously phrased, and the book abounds, with pages of obviously first- band observa- tion. In this connection, we should note particularly the account of the ibhing by means of scows (113-115), and the detailed narrative, of a visit to the Canneries (223 226), whilst some curious facts are given, concern- ing Indian squaws seen in the neigh- bourhood ; and there are a few bear and \ riding stories, besides two or three 1 1 episopes that almost border on the ^ ^nsational or melo- dramatic . The iH>ok contains eight, full-page illus- trations, apparently taken from pho- tographs, depicting some of the In- dians, and the Ushing processes al- ready mentioned. Miss Frances Her- ring wields ^ ; fresh and vigorous a pen that other work, whether quasi- fiction or in essay or travel form, may he expf^cted from her. ' 'Canadian 4rv \r\t% Itm 'iSrst and last appearance ** on her part rH^ ' A Verjf ComjHtnionabhBook, Tk9 ''NoHingham Guardicm:'''^t*C$kn- adian Camp Life," is a pleasantly written description of a few weeks spent under canvas for health's sake on the shores of Boundary Bay, near Vancouver. The story contalaa a good deal of mutter about the IlJI- ans, who live in the neighborhood, ibe scenery is well described, and there are not wanting adventures, to give a spice of excitement to a very enjoyable way of getting the benefit iof the open air cure. To EngHsli readers, the descripton of an ingeni- ous method of catching salmon by J means of a huge net and trap, will ^ .*% found very interesting. The neVis < ' staked along the course followecT %y the salmon, as they make for the fres^ water, and so arranged that" iOnce ill-- side its boundaiies, the fish are forced into a comparatively shallow pool, where ihey are easily scooped up. ' Twenty-live thousand fish at a haolis not a bad catch. An account is also given of the process of canning. An element of huniour is introduced into the sketcli, in the person of Ke T^Ht tlie Chinese cook and man-of-all-work. Young people will find the book^^^- very companionable one.

The ''Dublin Daily Expreis, — Those who wish to learn how life is often lived, and, something about the gen- eral aspects of nature in the Dom- inion, will find much to interest them in ''Canadian Camp Life." It is a pleasantly written narrative of the way in which a family party from the town of Westminster, passed the time* while camping oat for a holiday nudertaken in the interest of one of their number, an invalid. There is a goed deal of dialogue in the book which, however, though not wholly devoid of plot, suggests rather a sim- ple record of each day's experiences, a sort of magnified diary. The read- %r is introduced to several Red Indi- ans, and some of their customs are painstakingly described. The book is nicely printed on good paper, and contains eight excellent reproduc- tions of photographs. The outer cov- eiV representing a snow -clad moun- tain-side, with a dark background oi firs, is an effective bit of colouring; interesting to be told liow mea and women live, what are tlie conditions of their life, how thifflt ton and work, and how thev b^ themselves towards the circumstano«| of their lot. It is almost as interest- ing to be told of the recreations of men and women, and whether thev take their pleasures sadly as an ^ iishman is proverbially said tddo. Ail the more pleasant is the tale of human life, if it takes the reader into new scenes and conditions of our (^wulife. Canadian camp life hiii many sources of interest. It takes us into a new country, and bring* us into the midst of beautiful scwierv and of interesting people. We ai^ interested also in observing the change of attitude of character and of manner wrought on our country- men, when they are brought into a new environment, andhave to learn how to adapt themselves to it. Per-- haps the author did not intend to set forth the diflfereneos between Canadi- ans and the people of the old countiy but she has done so notwithstanding! She lets us see the Canadian ai work and at play, and we can see for ourselves, what the differences are. —"^■r^^-'au.-ui.j zv S3 » yjsiy Clever worM '-«fc, ..... -A'^ ■«-«* ?*-: ! % These two following Books are in the hands of the publishers, and will be announced shortl J, viz. - In the Pathless West— with Soldiers Miners, Pioneers and Savages.
