The Lost Squire of Inglewood. By Thomas Jackson. (T. Nelson

and Sons. 2s.)—Mr. Jackson should lay the scene of such adventures as he tells in here in lands, or at least in times, more remote. He is quite "up-to-date." Does he not describe, ti propos de bottes, a football match, "Notts v. Aston Villa"; and is not the locale the Robin Hood Caves ? It is among such surroundings that the "Squire of Inglewood" is lost. We might as well have expected to meet Agamemnon in the Strand. There is a certain comic force in the tale, but it is far too marvellous to be really interesting. What do our readers say to the new cure,—to live in a cavern, be nursed by a cat, and feed on raw fish?
