Chances and Changes; or Life as it is, Illustrated in the History of a Straw Hat. By CHARLES BURDETT, A. M.. Author of Never too Late,” etc. New York: D. Appleton & Co.

The series of moral tales lately given to the public by Mr. Burdett have all been well received, and have accomplished a great deal of good, independently of their interest as fictions. “Chances and Changes” is, perhaps, the best of the six yet published. It is in the manner of “Chrysal or The Adventures of a Guinea,” and quite as good a book in every respect.
