is begun in rather squaid vein, but develops
prettily. John Sark the hero, is an entomolo
gist and this gives the author an opportunity
to display his enthusiasm for butterflies. They
add something to the book, a delicate color
which, with the love motive, provides just the
right contrast to the grim dOngs of the White
Riders who thirst for the hero's blood. The plot
is well invented. This is, in fact of the most
satisfactory stories that Mr Chambers, singu-
larly uneven writer. has produced.
The Conspira tors" eSties to his ingenuity.
1t deals with a delightful tangle of intrigue and
romance. But it is spoiled by recrudescence
of the authors fondness for glittering dialogue
and epigrams in which there is nothing but very
cheap glitter; and the thinly veied attempt to
satirize the Emperor of Germany is marked by
a vulgarity of tone and crudity Of execution
which the most good natured reader can only
regard with disgust. Satire is not in Mr. Cham
berss vein. He bludgeon where rapier
is needed THE ConspiratoIs'' is full of sur
prses and is therefore amusing, but it is
forced and fashy book. 1t suggests that Mr.
Chambers is driving his modest talent too hard.
Mr. Weyman's new romance illustrates the
types and manners of fashionable London sOci-
ETY. in the year 1l42. In everything that means
the revival of historical atmosphere it is
skilful and, on the whole, just. The characters
also well realized. In the plot there are
certain improbabilites. Mr.. Weyman is per
fectly willing to strain the credulity of his reader
in the good old fashion. But, on the other hand.
most readers, imagine. would submit will
ingly to the strain, since Sophia is decidedly
interesting novel. In the earlier chapters the
heroine hates Sir Hervey Coke and in his
anxiety to enlist our sympathy for Sophia Mr..
Weyman comes near to leaving an ineffaceable
impression of Coke a very dubious person
altogether. But it all comes out in the right way
at the end, and if the happy climax is long de-
layed the author at least succeeds in making
