Some Noble Sisters. By Edmund Lee. (Clarke and Co.)—The best

known, and therefore, in one respect, the most interesting chapters in this book, will be those that give us sketches of Susanne Kossuth, sister of the Hungarian patriot, and of Elizabeth H. Whittier, the youngest sister of the poet Whittier. His tribute to her memory is the most beautiful part of Snowbound,"

itself, perhaps, the happiest effort of his pen. "Sidney's Sister" (the Countess of Pembroke and great aunt of "Sacharissa"),

Wilhelmina, Margravine of Baireuth (the favourite sister of Frederick the Great), Carolina Lucretia Herschel, Dorothy Words- worth, Mary Lamb, and Eug.Gnie de Guerin, are the subjects of the other articles.
