' ' " " . ' . OiT or Town. By BaiTy Gray. Hard & Jloughton: New York. A sort of compromise between the works of a country parson and the novels of Mrs Oliphant lies before us. It is a scmi-narrax tive semi-novel of the results of a summer experience in the country, and, while written in a pleasant style, deals too much in the most trivial incidents to excite much admira tion. The author is evidently a caroful ob server, and must have kept a note-book always on hand, in which to record the chasing of a goat or the growth of turntps. We hardly think we can recommend the work to any one. whoso literary life flows rapidly; but if 'a reader wants a gentle seda tive, and Is willing to read a pleasing record of what we all have seen, we would mention with favor Gray's " Out of Town." TnE Giraffb IIunterh. ' By Capta'n Maynelteid. BoBton: Ticknor & Fields. Frobably no writer possesses the power of captivating the fancies of boys like Reid. He hfs a fertile Imagination, a good knowledge of natural history, 'and writes 1 in a style which is calculated to interest. There is none of the 'Sentimentality which abounds in many bis . woi ks. All is lite, and tends to encourage daring and healthy exercise. ,We therclore hail with pleasure the appearance of another book from his hands, lie has given us, we had thought, a separate set of hunters lor every living beast; but we see the Gliaffe was overlooked, and with this long-necked game we are.: for the first time made acquainted by the pleasant volume now betcreus. We bespeak for it the popularity of its predecessors. A Quiet Neighborhood. By George Macdonald. New York: Harper dtliro.; Philadelphia Agents ; J. B. Lippincott & Co. In a very quiet neighborhood must have been the life of the writer cast. The story Is a quiet one.' All the ' peopla are quiet people ; the very animals throughout the tale are quiet animals ; yet, with all this silence and peace, the story is not insipid. It is interesting, and althoogh wlthmt -grrar uramatrc: power, is nonetheless of sufficient plot to keep the interest : of the reader alive, and repay a perusal of the work. We never came across any ot Macdonald's works before, although a list Is placed on the title page, but we judge he is some improvement on tbe placidity of Trollope, without, liowever, the power of de scription which the- latter possesses. MA Quiet Neighborhood" ends well, and is not destitute of force. It is written in the auto biographic style. ' ' j -, Lizzie Liston of Greybigq. By E. Lyon Linton American News Company: New York. ' Philadelphia : J. ' B, Lippincott & Co. Lizzie Liston is an old maid, at least an unmarried lady of thirty-five, who is beaten and trampled upon, metaphorically, by her family, slighted by her neighbois, as nobody In the world. She Is just such a character as Trollope has painted a a score of times. Sud denly a distant "relative how novelists must bless the existence of distant relatives I dies, and Lizzie is anheiress. With equal rapidity she changes he? place in the family and in the social scale. A fine melodramatic effect Is produced,culmlnating in a trial, and termi nating la the accidental di'owning of Lizzie The work is (iboye the medium ordar, and the character (or Lizzie ' is well drawn but rather too sharply lor truth to nature.

An Interest tug IlUtorlenl Coutroverny It was expected by not a few that some ot the allusions in the last volume of Mr. Bancroft's "History of 4he United Btates" to the military career and conduct ol General Greene would be the occasion of controversy. This was especially deemed probable in view of the tact that a living repieseiitative of Oriieral Greene Professor G. ,V. Greeneis himself a thorough historical scholar and a writer of ability. Mr. Bancroft's allusions to General Greeue wero more in the nature of indirect derogations from either his ability or patriotism than direct chareex, but unquestionably left on the minds of bis readers a- decidedly unfavorable .impression, I which Professor Greene baa. sought to remove by a pamphlet just published by Ticknor & Fields. He arrays a large nnmber of proofs Ui support Of the following propositions: "1. That the assertion, ttiat Greene was de&. pondent in 177 is not only unfounded, but irreconcilably at variance with the general tone of Ins letters at that period, and even with those upon which the charge is founded. "2. Tbit Gieeuc's account of the affair at Kip's Uay contains po ."reflection" upon Wash ipgton. - .' . j - ' m . .. , "3.
