Eastward Ho ! By Emma Marshall. (j. Nisbet and Co.)—Mrs.

Marshall's story takes us to a variety of scenes, to the ragged Corners miserable home, and to the fine house where Pauline, heiress-presumptive of the barony of Saintsbury, has her abode. (" Saintsbury," somehow, does not sound like one of those ancient titles which alone descend in the female line.) It is sufficiently readable, though we are inclined to say somewhat too long.. Pauline, wayward and passionate, but full of affection, is an attractive character, while Tessa is always delightful. This is a. good story for girls.
