Cyril Hamilton : his Adventures by Sea and Land. By

Lieutenant C. R. Low. (Rontledge and Sons.)—The hero of Lieutenant Low's story, after passing through somb exciting naval adventures, receives a, cadetship in the East India Company's service, and joins his regi- ment not long before the breaking out of the Mutiny. He is present at some of its most striking scenes, returns to England ; but, being in Lieutenant Low's hands, has, of course, to undergo shipwreck again. He does his duty on sea as well as on land, saves himself and his companions, and meets with the reward which proverbially belongs to the brave.
