The Young Pioneers. By Evelyn Everett-Green. (T. Nelson and Sons.)—Mrs.

Everett-Green has found a comparatively fresh subject, —the adventures of that remarkable man, La Salle, in the exploration of the Mississippi. A father and three sons, of Huguenot descent, who are settled in England, find themselves compelled by the no-Popery agitation of the latter years of Charles IL's reign to fly from England. They fall in, on their outward voyage, with some French kinsmen. Reaching the New World, they go through various adventures. The author has a talent for telling a story of this kind and an industry in furnishing it with the proper local colour which are well-known to many of our readers. They will find The Young Pioneers possibly a little lengthy, but a story full of interest.
