From Houghton, Mifflin & Co. comes a little volume,—beautifully printed, of antique look, and with plentiful side-headings, bearing the above title. It purports to be made up of extracts from the notebook of an invalid, who discusses all sorts of topics —rain, doctors, pledges, cities, lawyers, life, gout, bile, hell, noise—in a quaint, sometimes cynical, and often witty way. In fact, it is a running commentary on men, books, and affairs, such as now forms a feature of almost every daily paper. You can begin it anywhere and leave it anywhere, without impairing the sense.
