READABLE NOVELS. —Dennison Grant. By Robert J. C. Stead. (Hodder
and Stoughton. 8a. (3d. net.)—An American ranching story in Mr. Stead's best manner. The hero is trans- lated from poverty in the prairies to riches in the city, and there is a heroine in each yhase of his career. But, as is usual with this author's work, it is the atmosphere of wide spaces and single-heartedness which is the book's best recommendation. —O'Rourke the Great. By Arthur Lynch. (Hutchinson. 8s. 6d. net.)—Many of the elements which have contributed to the existing unhappy state of Ireland are represented in this hook, which is the story of the rise of a Nationalist M.P. and of the varying fortunes of his two daughters. There is considerable humour about the treatment of certain public figures at West, minster (very thinly disguised) as seen from over the water.
