The literary features of the March number of the Delineator possess 
high quality and great interest. The first paper on ‘'Pictorial Photog¬ 
raphy,” by J. C. Abel, shows the possibilities of the camera in a series 
of beautiful landscapes, the work of well-known leaders in the photo¬ 
graphic world. Dr. W. L. Savage, the noted physical director, con¬ 
tributes an article on “Gymnasium Work for Women,” with remark¬ 
able pictures taken from life. 
Mrs Ellis Rowan, whose marvelous water-color paintings show the 
flora of many interesting parts of the world, including Australia and 
Porto Rico, is a wonderfully rapid worker. It is only recently that 
she has attempted to draw with a pen, her strong preference having 
always been for the brush ; but within a few months she attained such 
proficiency in the new medium that some of her pen-and-ink sketches 
have been compared to those of the late Hamilton Gibson. Many 
scores of examples of these are shown in her greatest work—“ Southern 
Wild Flowers and Trees.” 
The English Men of Letters Series which is issued in England under 
the editorship of Mr. John Morley, is being extended in the United 
States by the Macmillan Company by the addition of American

Waldo Emerson, by George Edward Woodberry ; Benjamin Franklin > 
by Owen Wister; Edgar Allan Poe, by William Peterfield Trent; and 
among the more interesting announcements in the same series from 
the English side are : George Eliot, by Leslie Stephen; William 
Hazlitt, by Augustine Birrell, and Matthew Arnold, by Herbert W* 
Paul. 
Southern Wild Flowers and Trees: Together with shrubs, vines, 
and various forms of growth found through the mountains, the middle 
district, and the low country of the South. By Alice Lounsberry. 
Illustrated by Mrs. Ellis Rowan with an introduction by Chauncy D. 
Beadle. The first popular work to cover this extensive field Upwards 
of 1,000 plants are ii eluded, with a key, simply constructed, by which 
they may be located. The text treats also of the personality of the 
plants, their uses by the people, and of the legends and folk lore which 
it has been possible to gather concerning them. There are 16 colored 
plates, which show the beauty of the remarkable Southern flora, and 
161 plates and diagrams from pen and-ink drawings, which aid greatly 
in their identification. Many of the plants pictured are very rare— 
never having been engraved before. There are 16 engravings from 
wash drawings, through the book, showing scenes in which this 
remarkable flora is found, with interesting incidents concerning them 
recorded. Cloth, 8 vo., Pp. 569. $3.65 net'. New York : Frederick
