Goodspeed & Co., of New York, ia perhaps the latest work out, yet 'we d l> not feel ouraehee amiss in pronouncing i t also the best. It contains a most graphic and vivtd narration of t hat wonderful disaster, t he story of which will n ot grow old for m any a long. year. W hen _the fo;st n ews of the . J olrnstown disast er came, everybody disbelieved t hat s o horrible a story could be true. But each day brought fresh h or rors t o the public n otice, till it was universally rerr.ark ed that for once tl1e first accounts had not been exilggerated, bu t even underestimated. This is so rarely the case that it is a fact worthy of notice in the history of journalism. Everywhere throughout the coun&ry the heart beat of sympathy, and kindness showed itself in the m ost generoue contributions, which soon rolled up int o millions. Even the Chicago fire failed to stir up the same passionate fellowfeeling, brnause there, although the loss Qf property was great, t hat of life was C'. )mparatively email. We can not but believe it will be long ere this profound interest sinks into indifferen ce. This permanen t record will be welcomed by t he people of th e la nd, North, South, E ast and West, and wherever people can r earl . The author seems to have taken paius in writing an acc urat e a.s well as dram~tic sto ry, and the whole t hing i11 presented with a vigor a nd li fe likeness wh ich brin!ls it home t o every heart. Mr. :Ferris has etudied the whole matter wit h g reat care, and serves it to t he public in admtra bl~ style. 1'r1e book is well m ade, and has for ty eight handsome illustmtions a nd 522 pages. We believe that a ny one who has an opportunity should seiztt the chance to p archase this thrill ing work. Agents are wanted. B. S .
