. The hunter and the trapper in North America, or, Romantic adventures in field and forest.

We are not witliout hope that many young readers who would turn away from tlie latter with " cold indiflTerence " will peruse the story of M. R6voil*s adventures with breathless intei'est, and theroby be led to acquire a taste for a very agi'eeable and instructive pursuit, the investi- > gation of tlie Curiosities of Animal Life. We have only to add that we have allowed our hunter to tell his tale in his own way. We have made no alte- mtions except suoli as wero necessary to adapt the book for English readers, and have endeavoured to render the original with spirit and fidelity. W. H. D.
