 time, he showed a genius for warfare which has never been sur-/ 

 passed. )

With Washington at Monmouth : A Story of Three Phila- 

 delphia Boys. By JAMES OTIS. 12mo, cloth, price $1,00. 

 Throe Philadelphia boys, Seth Graydon " whose mother con- 

 ducted a boarding-house which was patronized by the British 

 officers;'' Enoch Ball, "son of that Mrs. Ball whose drncing 

 school was situated on Letitia Street," and little Jacob, : on of 

 *' Chris, the Baker," serve as the principal characters. The 

 story is laid during the winter when Lord Howe held possession 

 of the city, and the lads aid the cause by assisting the American 

 spies who make regular and frequent visits from Valley Forge. 

 One reads here of home-life in thn captive city when bread was 

 scarce among the people of the lower classes, and a reckless prodi- 

 gality shown by the British officers, who passed the winter in 

 feasting and merry-making while the members of the patriot- army 

 but a few miles away were suffering from both cold and hunger. 

 The story abounds v, ith pictures of Colonial life skillfully 

 drawn, and the glimpses of Washington's soldiers which are given 

 show that the work has not been hastily done, or without con 

 siderable study.
