My Uncle Hobson and I; or Slashes at Life with a Free Broad-Axe. By Pascal Jones . New York: D. Appleton & Co.

This is a handsomely printed duodecimo of about 270 pages. We have not had an opportunity of reading it thoroughly, but some of the chapters have much of that sort of humor which is found in the Chronicles of Pineville — that is to say in the worst portions of the Chronicles. The announcement on the cover that the book is an “Interesting American work” is in bad policy and worse taste.
