THE WHITE ROSE, By G.. J. Whyte Melville,
author of "Cerise, 'The Gladiators," SC. Mr.
Melville We believe, usually writes historical
romances, but his white Rose is a sensational
novel, with all the approved accessories of that
sort OF literature. His heroine, to whom he
gives the fanciful name of THE White Rose" is
an English girl, the daughter of clergyman,
and apparently the authors ideal of the highest
type of woman We fail to agree with him.
She is pretty, piquant girl, handsome,
worldly woman, whose gentleman friends make
bets for her at races, speculate and lose money
for her in many ways, and whose lover is
gambler The book Is not dull, and that is all
the praise we can give it. 1t is published by
d. Appleton & Co., New York, and for sale here

of Protes tantism 8, The Politics of Aristotle 6,

other respects, the Westminster has no superior
among the British quarteries. Republished in
New York by the Leonard Scott Publishing
Company.
OLD AND NEW, for September, has scarcely
an article which does not seem readable, or which,
so far as we have read, fails to be so. We al
ways read the Introductory paper, and then turn
from this to cups and Downs" There is in
this number an admirable article on the presi-
dental question, entitled 'Person and PreSi-
dent" F. W. Clarke writes on "Ghost and
| GhostSeeing," and there is an article by Mr..
Hale on GLOW to Sleep" We are moved to say
that 'Pets and their Long Life" by Rev. Eli
HARNESS, lis particularly good. "The Wears
Daughter" is continued, and there is review
ofJohn Oldham's poems by VIM. Cullen Bryant;
Oldham wrote two centuries ago. Old and New
