dents of Berkshire, or for visitors to its alluring scenes, it has much for all lovers of nature, and fills a peculiar and important place in the shelf of American local history. The present edition is very much enlarged over the earlier, and is practically a fresh work. Dr. Todd, Gen. Bartlett, Mr. George Wm. Curtis, Jonathan Edwards, the Fields, the Goodale children, the Hopkinses, the Sedgwicks, are a few of the notabilities who figure more or less distinctly in its pages. Mr. Benjamin F. Taylor has won the literary man's spurs an LL.D.—and the list of his books begins to assume respectable dimensions. Six volumes now bear his name upon the title-page, of which the best and the best-known is The World on Wheels, a curious and entertaining study of railroad life; and the last, just published, is Summer Savory, a handful of "aromatic memories of the old fire-side and garden-side." "It is an art," continues the author in his preface, "to set back the old clock and be a boy again." This is the art which he essays in these two hundred pages. The first few chapters, or sketches, relate to the Great West-"Glimpses of Utah," "Pictures of Colorado," "The Garden of the Gods," etc. Then come little papers on such out-of-theway topics as Hats," "The Caravan," "The Country Ball Room." Under the enigmatic title of "Human Figs," lies hidden a brief discourse on boys. The connection between title and topic is on this wise: Once a fig, always a fig. I do not think we want any more human figs. First the baby, then the breezy boy, then the boots, then the bother, then the young man, then the hope of the home stead that is the good old-fashioned order of development. Not having the delight of sitting under my "own vine and fig-tree," perhaps my knowledge of figs is imperfect, but yet I insist upon the boy. 66 tender.
