 oo,,0 ic tha first nf a new series of anonymous novels which the puolishers-J. R. Osgood & Co.,, of Boston call the ''Round Robin" series, and it is good beginning, the story being charming one The 'nameless nobleman" whom the author has chosen for hero is Dr. Francis le Baron, surgeon on one of Louis XIV's ships in the war with William of Orange. The young Frenchman was wrecked on the Massachusetts coast on his way to the Cana dian Provinces, and was rescued and taken to Plymouth, where he settled down and practised his profession until his death. Out of the brief romance of Le Baron's life, for he died before he was forty years old, the author has constructed delightful tale.
