Ocean Work, Ancient and Modern: or, Evenings on Sea and Land. By J. Hall Wright, author of “Breakfast-table Scenes.” (Science.) New York, Appleton & Co.

This neat little book is one of the second series of “Tales for the People and their children,” and in our estimation is one of the best among them. A little more science and a little less prattle would have greatly enhanced its value as a book for the people, but even in its present shape it contains a great amount of knowledge in a very limited space.
