Grit and Go. Stories told by G. A. Henty and

Others. (W. and R. Chambers. 5s.)—Mr. Henty's name will attract many boys, but there are other names equally attractive to older readers,—to wit, D. C. Murray, Bryden, Guy Boothby, D. L. John- stone, and H. Bindloss, a comparatively new writer. The last tale, and one of the best, by an anonymous writer, tells the story of William Phips and his treasure-trove,—a true tale of the seven- teenth century. However, they are all good stories and well told. The plot of Mr. Henty's story is a capital one, and might have done duty for a longer effort. Very good reading is "De Wet's First and Worst Repulse." which, of course, is no fiction. We have nothing but praise for this edition of short tales, which are full of adventure, and of excellent tone.
