This is q very readable work, albeit there is
a redundancy of gloom and secret sorrow in
parts. There is a vein of the feudal spirit
running through the story, and although the
tale is of modern days it carries the reader
back into another century. 1t tells of the
inner life Of the lord of princely estate, who
lived in his ancestral castle, summed and
hated by his tenants for crime committed
by the father, but who at the last emorges
from his solitude to bloom, got married to the
sweetheart of his younger days, and win the
love of his'villagers by timely sacrifice of a
portion of his estate to save the village from
destruction by flood. Tho story is attractive
throughout.

TO be very clever adaptation from a German

favor wherever il has been produced. 1t is
said to be full of good situations, and to be al
extremely attractive piece of light comedy
1t will be placed upon the stage by n strong

The biographer takes his hero from early
boyhood to the grave, painting his deeds
with the hand of admiration, dwelling low
ingly upon the qualities of greatness and
touching lightly upon his faults. Tho book
is not without merit, and the author attempts
to deal fairly with the readers in his treat
ment of tho life of England's greatest naval

This book is partly founded on a French
Juvenile, which has also furnished many of
the bright catchy illustrations. Tho author
confesses that nothing would have pleased
him better than TO have simply
translated from the French, but as there
was so muck to modify and change
he found it easier and more satisfac-
tory to produce practically new story on
the same general plan 1t is one of the best
and most instructive books for the little ones
that have been produced this year. History,

thing are deftly administered in broken

tions are good, and the topography unex-
