Smith, Marion Couthouy. Electric spirit, and other poems. $1.25. Badger, R. G.
There is something truly pleasing in these verses which sing of the conventional subjects of minor poetry; love, and life in the abstract.
“There is altogether a refreshing promise and performance in the little volume.”

Smith, Richard. Tour of four great rivers: the Hudson, Mohawk, Susquehanna, and Delaware in 1769. **$5. Scribner.
“The purpose of the tour, Francis W. Halsey tells the reader in his historical introduction to the work, was to make a survey of that tract of land now known as the Otega patent, in which Smith and some others were interested. The journey was made in company with Richard Wells of Philadelphia and several surveyors.” (N. Y. Times.) “He gives a careful account of what he saw and learned on the route, including much of Indian life, and the narrative is of great interest as a contribution to the geography and history of the time. Mr. Halsey’s introduction of sixty pages is a concise account of the pioneers of the four rivers, with maps, views, and other illustrations.” (Putnam’s.)
