Hannah Tame : a Story. By the Author of "Mr.

Greysmith." (Macmillan and Co.)—Though "Hannah" is but twelve years old when her adventures begin, they are of a kind to interest those chiefly who are beyond childhood. The account of her sojourn in Germany is well told, and true to the manners of the country. "Cousin Ada's " vulgar affectation of French phrases is carried rather too far, to be equally true to the manners even of would-be fine ladies in England ; but on the whole, it is a nice little tale, and well

written. •
