WILLIAM PURDLE TRELOAR. By C: E. Lawrence. (Murray. 7s. 6d.)

Sin WILLIAM TEELOAII founded the great Hospital for Crippled Children at Alton—" The Lord Mayor Treloar Cripples Hospital and College." Much the most interesting part of the short biography which lies before us deals with the growth and achievements of this admirable institution. The picture of the founder is painted in a medium of pure eulogy and lacks precision. We are left with a vague impression of a beaming personality in a perpetual state of mirth.
