The events of this volume are founded on facts. Many persons now residing in Connecticut will recognize not only the incidents, but many of the characters, which are introduced into the story. The characters, in many respects, are faithful portraitures of individuals now living, who played in real life the parts assigned them in this volume. Caleb Starbuck, the author, is evidently an "old salt;" and the story savors much of the interest of the forecastle.
THE INDIAN FAIRY BOOK.
FROM ORIGINAL LEGENDS.
Illustrated by John McLenan.
1 Vol., 12mo. Price $1.
This book will prove a most acceptable holiday present for the old and young. It contains various prettily-told fairy stories, derived from original sources, placed at the disposal of the Editor by Henry R. Schoolcraft, Esq. They do not treat of the tomahawk and scalping-knife, but are correct transfers of those beautiful mythological traditions which are found only among the Indians. The illustrations are elegant and appropriate, being elaborately engraved by Anthony in a style hitherto unsurpassed. Altogether the book will prove one of the best works for a holiday present that has yet been published.
