Too Strange not to be True. A Tale. By Lady

Georgiana Fullerton. Three volumes. (Bentley.)-A very disappointing book from the authoress of "Ellen Middleton" and " Grantley Manor." The only pretension of the book is the tale, said to be founded on fact, and even that is long, straggling, and fragmentary. There is little indication of the delicate insight into character and exquisitely fine shading of Eng- lish manners, which obtained for Lady Georgians Fullerton's earlier novels a wide and well-deserved fame.
