    book for Amateur Gipsies , ' by G . R . Lowndes . Those who have an idea of camping out should at once procure this book , as it contains much

    that will assuredly be of use to them . The construction author has had of gi ten psy years tents ' experience and he has in made the

    good use of his opportunities A . ** , . After reading what he has to say , we feel inclined to forsake the busy haunts of men , and seek the pleasant

    streams and woodland glades of which he chats so pleasantly . Mr . Lowndes is an enthusiast , but his enthusiasm is in a good causeand it is

    a pity that holiday-makers do not often , adopt his methods of enjoying themselves . We cordially recommend the volume to all who

    are in any way interested in the subject of which it treats . It is written tersely , clearly , and with plenty of * gof' and the illustrations

Bayly . Newfoundland has of late been

    attracting considerable attention , and the circumstance disclosed a shameful ignorance of the colony on the part of the British public .

    Mr . Bayly , a Newfoundlander by birth , comes forward to increase their knowledge , 3 hd certainly neither too soon nor without reason .

    Speaking of his personal experience , Mr . Bayly tells us that people in this country have expressed M . their surprise — MT to him that a native

    of Newfoundland ' so much resembled an Englishman , ' and inquired whether he had had ' much difficulty in acquiring English / This is

    hardly to the Englishmen ' s credit , and it is to be hoped that they will read Mr . Bayly ' s pamphlet and learn something of Britain ' s oldest

    colony . ' The book is short , clear , and agreeable in style , and gives much valuable and interesting information .

    From Mr . John Heywood , Manchester . —• St . Maur of the —th , ' by Quentin Murray . Mr .

    Murray has chosen an awkward title for an interesting and well-told story . It is concerned with lovethe course of which does not run

    smooth , because , there is money in the question . The book is not conventional , for it does not end happilythough it ends naturally and

    and logic is reall y . Henry y , well St dep . Maur icted is ; so a sp also lendid is Marian fellow , Stalways . The style , too , is graceful and fluent ,

    and altogether the little volume leaves a very agreeable impression on the reader ' s mind . We shall be glad to meet Mr . Murray again .

    Puritan ' s Daughter , ' by I . J . L . Two of Messrs . Homer ' s admirable penny stories for the people . They are marvellous value for a penny a piece ,

    and are well calculated to maintain the high popularity of the series . From Messrs . Hurst & BlackettLimited . —

    , * The Criton Hunt Mystery / by Mrs . Robert Jocelyn . 3 volumes . Mrs . Jocelyn is not a tedious writer . She is of the headlong ,

    slapdash order of authors , who are not detained by any language elaboration , but * go of for the character goal' with or a nicety straight of

    -. forward rush , which carries the reader on in her spite stories of himself nor . to He ski is not likely to yawn of them over p many pages

    nor , having , once taken them up , to lay them , down before the end is reached . The Criton Hunt Mystery' is characteristic in style and

    treatment . The writing is vivacious , but ha but rdl not y correct firm ; the . It character is a tale -drawing of love rapid and , very

    hunting ment and , and here has and therefore there quite plenty unexpected of movegleams throug throug h ox the h humour them three quickly . volumes Mrs . also Jocelyn , and for the canters the reader mystery gaily may

    go is not such as need cause much , delay . The

    book , however , is thoroughly readable .
