Browne, George Waldo. St. Lawrence river: historical, legendary, picturesque. [**]$3.50. Putnam.
The great river is described from the ocean to the lake, and the men who were connected with it are brought in in chronological order, Cartier, Champlain, Frontenac, LaSalle, Wolfe, Montcalm, and the early voyageurs. There is an account of Indian wars, and a fine blending of past scenes and present scenery. There are one-hundred full page illustrations.
“The text appears not to be inadequate, ... but no one can think the style good or graceful.”
