The Sedan Chair. By Madame de Chatelaine. With illustrations. (Routledge.)—Sir

Wilfred Neville, having been fortunate enough to save the life of a Moorish astrologer in Spain, is by him rewarded with a chair which shall take him at his will once into each planet, and through all the domains of earth, air, fire, and water. He is consequently enabled to visit a number of queer places and see a number of queer people, from the inhabitants of Saturn and the moon to the dwellers under water and in fire and the ghostly subjects of the Fairy Morgana. The recital of his adventures is likely to amuse the rising generation, and the illustrations are pleasing.
