The Cottage Kitchen: By Marion Harland, lamo., pp. 276. Chas. Scrib- 
ner's Sons, New York, 1883. For sale by M. H. Dickinson; $1.00. 
Marion Harland's " Common Sense " books have gained her a wide celebrity 
among housekeepers, and this new one will in no respect decrease it. It com- 
prises the whole list of cookeries and cookables and seems to combine hygiene 
with elegance and economy. No lady can have any tolerable excuse nowadays 
for poor, unwholesome diet and bad cooking. 
Anti-Tobacco: By Abiel Abbot Liver more. i6mo., pp. 117. Roberts Bros., 
Boston, 1883. For sale by M. H. Dickinson; cloth 50c. 
This essay of Mr. Livermore's is the substance of an able and comprehen- 
sive address delivered before the Mead ville Temperance Union, and is accom- 
panied by a lecture on Tobacco and Its Effects by Rev. Russell Lant Carpenter, 
and an article on The Use of Tobacco by G. F. Witter, M, D.; the whole making 
up as powerful an argument against the use of '* the weed " as it is possible to 
conceive. It should be widely distributed by hygienic and temperance societies 
everywhere.
