Fritz of Prussia. By Lucy Taylor. (T. Nelson and Sons.)—

Miss Taylor tells the story of " Frederick, second Emperor of Germany," from the days of his boyhood down to his death. Of course we hear much, as we read of the immediate subject of the memoir, of the notable men who were connected with him, of Bismarck, of Moltke, and of Von Roon. We read also of his children, especially of that astonishing young man who is now " William, third Emperor of Germany." Miss Taylor has put together her book with care, and seems to possess, besides the necessary gift of industry, some power of thinking for herself.
