In Freedom's Cause. By G. A. Henty. (Blackie and Son

)—Mr. Henty is one of the hest of the story-tellers who provide amusement at this season for young people. This time he tells us "a story of

Wallace and Brace." The subject will, of course, be especially welcome on the northern side of the Border. For our own part, we doubt whether all the charges against Wallace "have been torn to shreds." Bat this discussion would be out of place at present. Wallace and Bruce are the acknowledged heroes of Scottish inde- pendence (though Brace, by the way, was a Norman), and they make excellent heroes.
