Literary Notes

The article presents information related to the field of literature. A new work by Henry Fawcett, professor of political economy at the University of Cambridge, Massachusetts, has just been published by Messrs. Macmillan & Co.--"The Economic Position of the British Laborer." His "Manual of Political Economy" has lately reached a second edition. "The Pictorial History of the Civil War in the United States," by Benson J. Lossing, the author and artist, after long and careful preparation, is now passing through the press. The first volume will probably be issued in February. The great popularity and wide circulation of Lossing's "Field Book of the Revolution" suffice to show that the public appreciate the unique combination of the pen and the pencil for which his works are remarkable.
