subject in his Investigation Of Charles
Dickens In Chancery" U.ongmans, Green
and Company, notwithstanding his sar-
castle references TO the digressions OF
other Dickens enthusiasts. He starts
out to tell about the suit Dickens brought
against certain publishers who had pla-
garized the Christmas Carol" As he
goes on he turns aside to explain what
the chancery court was and how It was
conducted at the time of the trial: where
II sat, which leads to further wanderings
into the topography OF Westminster
Hall before the fire: who were the
Judges and the lawyers and the wit
nesses, with many biographical details.
and even what old persons the author
interviewed and what old buildings he
examined in the course OF his search.
In an appendix. taking up third Of the
pamphlet, he prints the legal papers in
the case and the newspaper reports OF II,
The pamphlet throws some light on a
matter Of infinitesimal importance even
to Dickens worshippers. 1t Is very en-
'tertaining, nevertheless, for the author
writes charming English and his wan
derings from the straight path are gen.
orally interesting In spite OF their irrele-
vancy. He certainly provides all that
any one will care to know about this
particular lawsuit.

SOME NEW FICTION.

The pleasantest and most artistic
stories that We have SO far seen from
the pen OF J. J. Bell are to be found in
THE Msadventures Of Joseph" tF1em-
ing II. Revell Company. While they
are extremely funny the humor arises
from the natural. commonplace in
cidents Of life; IT is not strained and is
always kindly Toward the close the
authors yearning for. the pathetic gets
the upper hand occasionally and he has
moral lesson or two to inculcate, but
for the most part he Is content to be
merely humorously observant. The
central figure in all the stories Is the
worthy painter that his readers already
know, with his faith In patent medicines
and his attendant apprentice. He
manages to do kind acts to various
picturesque village people and some
Of them do him a good turn too. Mr..
Bells people could hardly behave them
selves as they do II they were not Scots,
but his humor docs not depend on his
dialect.
