SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.

[Notice in this column does not necessarily preclude subsequent reviete..)

The London Mercury for July contains an interesting poem entitled " Gleaning " by Edmund Blundon, and an exceedingly clever analysis of an unknown travelling companion (an analysis which turns out to be all wrong) by Miss Virginia Woolf. It is pleasant to see the gradual " placing " of Trollope in an unexpectedly high literary category. The adjudication is carried a step further by Mr. H. J. Harwood.
