Guide to the Unprotected in Matters relating to Property and
Income. By a Banker's Daughter. (Macmillan and Co.)—The title of this bandy little volume is a quite sufficient indication of the nature of its contents. Its authoress is well aware that there is no lack of publications which are designed to answer the same end ; but she is of opinion that all previous writers have erred in presuming their readers to be acquainted at least with the A B C of business matters. She, on the contrary, presupposes a condition of complete and absolute ignorance on the part of her pupil, and there is no business term or transaction so common as not to be thought worthy of separate explanation. She has, we are persuaded, hit upon the right way to make her book really useful to the British spinster. Her information is always correct and clearly stated, and we shall be surprised if results do not prove her to have supplied a real want.
