The Turn of the Tide. By Arnold F. Graves. (John

Murray. Is. net.) —A further collection of Mr. Graves's rhymed chronicles of the war. As readers of The Long Retreat know, Mr. Graves's " doggerel " often reaches a much higher level than is generally implied by that term. Particularly striking in this book are the poems " The Grand Morin " and " The Convent."
