A Bitter Repentance. By Lady Virginia Sanders. (Hurst and Blackett.)—Lady

Virginia Sa,ndars once more gives evidence in the volume before us of the faults and merits displayed in her former book, "The Heiress of Haredale." The literary form is again defective ; and again we find her story told with considerable power of interesting her readers, and her characters in some cases conceived and delineated with skill. Lady Ruthin notably is drawn with insight and considerable feeling. In these novel- reading days, A Bitter Repentance should help to while away a rainy day.
