NOV. 1, 1869. 1602, while Hampden and Cromwell were still in their nurse's charge, Massinger was entered at St. Alban's Hall, Oxford. This he left abruptly some four years later, without taking his degree, and enlisted himself amongst "divers whose necessitous fortunes made literature their profession." He died in 1639, and was buried either beside, or in the same grave as his contemporary dramatist, John Fletcher. He is known to have written thirtyseven plays, of which eighteen are, it is feared, irrecoverably lost. The present edition of his works contain all that have been preserved, and also one, "Believe as you List," which was only discovered in 1844, and which has never before been published in any previous edition. His productions were for many years favorites on the English stage, and his comedy of "A New Way to Pay Old Debts" is still familiar to most play-goers. The Woman Who Dared. By Epes Sargent. pp. 270. Boston: Roberts Bros. Linda, the heroine of this story, is a young lady of the "strongminded" order, and well acquainted with all the modern theories concerning the "women's rights" questions. She is left an orphan and penniless when quite young, but manages to obtain a living by painting, by the exercise of which art she subsequently realizes a tolerable inWhat she dared to do was to put into practice her theories of a woman's privilege. "Why should not a woman seek her happiness With brow as unabashed as mau may wear In seeking his?" come. So after some little hesitation, which even her theories cannot quite control, she visits the man she loves and tells him, "in homely English, unadorned. I'm here to offer you my hand, the heart And dwells with you, so you can claim your own, The story is told in blank verse, but, however, can hardly be called poetry, nevertheless it is a simple tale, pleasantly told, and intorwoven with the plot, has many short descriptions of scenery, of unquestionable depth and beauty. LAW. Notes on the General Statutes of Massachusetts: to which is added a List of the Cities and Towns in the State and of Certain State and County Officers. By Uriel H. Crocker and Geo. G. Crocker. pp. iv., 609. Boston: Little, Brown & Co., The plan pursued by the gentlemen who have prepared this work is to take the general statutes of the State, in the order of the sections, and present in connection with each section, references to the subsequent legislation, and to the relevant decisions. The volume is, in fact, an annotated edition of the statutes, and though it is unpretending in its character and calls for no literary ability on the part of the authors, yet it belongs to a class of extremely serviceable every-day manuals, which become indispensable to the practitioner who has by constant use, tested their value.
