A second edition of Probation and Other Tales, by the

author of" Selwyn in Search of a Daughter," is on our table. To our former notice of the volume we have have little to add, unless we say that the author's elegant elaboration sometimes approaches feebleness, and sometimes gives an air of reality. The busy per- haps will become impatient over the minute account of Mr. Meredith's change from a do-nothing to a man of worth: but the book will interest those who have leisure for a leisurely perusal.
