The Age of Chivalry. By Philip H. Johnstone. (Marcus Ward

and Co.)—Mr. Johnstone puts in a new shape matter that will be familiar to many readers. An introduction on chivalry in general, a chapter on "The Feudal Period," and another on "The Order of Knighthood," serve as a preface to biographies of Pierre du Terrail (commonly called the Chevalier Bayard) and Sir Philip Sidney.
