Campion Court. By Emma Jane NVerboise. (Virtue Brothers and Co.)—The

authoress has on this occasion given her youthful readers a historical novelette. The story opens with the death of Cromwell and ends with the fire of London, and it depicts the troubles experienced by the family of Sir Anthony Mordaunt, a Somersetshire baronet, in consequence of their nonconformity. Upon the whole the difficult task of exciting our hatred of intolerance without being herself intolerant is fairly accomplished by the writer, though her book will not be accept- able to young ladies of the school of Miss Yonge. Those to whom this is no stumbling-block will find "Campion Court" a pleasant, well-written tale.
