Coupon Bonds and Other Stories: By J. T. Trowbridge. i2mo., pp. 411. 

 Lee & Shepard, Boston, 1884. For sale by M. H. Dickinson, $1.50. 



This volume comprises ten of Mr. Trowbridge's characteristic stories, the 

 best of which are " Coupon Bonds," which gives the title to the book, and " Fes- 

 senden's." The others, however, are all good, including " Madame Waldobor- 

 ough's Carriage," "Archibald Blossom, Bachelor," "In the Ice," "Nancy 

 BIynn's Lovers," "Mr. Blazay's Experience," "Preaching for Selwyn," "The 

 Romance of a Glove," and "The Man Who Stole a Meeting-house." 



•Mr. Trowbridge has written a great many stories, in fact has been a well 

 known novelist and story-writer for nearly forty years, and has lost none of his 

 popularity even yet. He is a welcome contributor to St. Nicholas, and is highly 

 regarded by all youthful readers. The book in question is handsomely put forth 

 by the publishers, and the stories included will by no means lessen Mr. Trow- 

 bridge's credit.
