Paul Heriot's Pictures, By Alison McLean. (F. Warne and Co.)—Here

we have seven stories, connected with as many pic- tures, which came, after the death of the painter, into the posses- sion of one who saw something of him during the last months of his life. They are of varying merit. If they were all as good as "The Christmas Dog," which is original in conception and well worked out, this would be a book to praise very highly.
