The Snob. By Helen R. Martin. (Hurst and Blackett. 7s.

6d. net.)—This book is more interesting as an account of life in an American University, and on the farm of a Pennsyl- vanian Dutchman, than as fiction. The two people who tell the story are not very clearly characterized, and the study of the Snob himself is a little crude.
