WALLS WHISPER. By Geo. C. Foster. (Chapman and Hall. 7s.

6d.)—Mr. Foster tells the story of two houses over a period of three hundred and fifty years. Michael Gulliver in the sixteenth century built better and more wisely than Horace Saltash in the twentieth, and his work outlasted it new rival. Walls Whisper has no lack of colour and incident told in a pleasant and simple-minded manner.
