The History of Our Gracious Queen Mary. By Jeanie Rose

Brewer. (R. T. S. 2s. 6d. net.)—It is not always an easy task to write what may be called a Court biography. But Miss Brewer has no reason to complain. It is a very attractive story that she has to tell, and she tells it with good taste. The home life and the life of public duty make equally excellent subjects. And there are interesting accessories in biographical sketches of various members of the family, beginning with that very popular lady the Duchess of Teck.
