than in England itself. Every one who is interested in houseboats or who contemplates 
taking up this feature of outdoor life, should read Mr. Albert Bradlee Hunt's practical, 
and, at the same time, beautiful work on the houseboat and its adaptation to American 
waters.

their relation to city and suburban life; construction, furnishing, motive power, and all

boats is interestingly described. Some of the more noted English and American house¬ 
boats and the life thereon are also described at length, with illustrations. Buckram,
