opportunities of investigating the antiquities of the American Aborigines, 

 and of bringing to light many facts of high importance in reference to 

 primei'al man. The changes in the new edition, necessitated by the great 

 advance in Archceology since the first, include btth reconstruction and 

 condensation, along -with considerable additions alike in illustration and 

 in argument. " We find," says the ATHENAEUM, " the main idea of his 

 treatise to be a pre-eminently scientific one, namely, by archaeological 

 records to obtain a definite conception of the origin and nature of man's 

 earliest efforts at civilization in the New World, and to endeavour to dis- 

 cover, as if by analogy, the necessary conditions, phases, and epochs through 

 which man in the prehistoric stage in the Old World also must necessarily 

 have passed" The NORTH BRITISH REVIEW calls it "a mature and 

 mellow work of an able man ; free alike from crotchets and from dog- 

 matism, and exhibiting on every page the caution and moderation of a 

 well- bala need judgment. ' ' 



CHATTERTON : A Biographical Study. By DANIEL WILSON, 

 LL.D., Professor of History and English Literature in University 

 College, Toronto. Crown 8vo. 6s. 6d. 



The author here regards Chatterton as a poet, not as a ' ' mere resetter 

 and defacer of stolen literary treasures. " Reviewed in this light, he has 

 found much in the old materials capable of being turned to new account : 

 and to these materials research in various directions has enabled him to 

 make some additions. He believes that the boy-poet has been misjudged, and 

 that the biographies hitherto written of him are not only imperfect but 

 untrue. While dealing tenderly, the author has sought to deal truthfully 

 with the failings as ^uell as the virtues of the boy : bearing always in 

 remembrance, what has been too frequently lost sight of, that he was but a 

 boy ; a boy, and yet a poet of rare power. The EXAMINER thinks this 

 " the most complete and the purest biography of the poet which has yet 

 appeared." The LITERARY CHURCHMAN calls it "a most charming 

 literary biography."
