The Elf - Knights. By M. A. Curtois. (Remington.)—A good and well-written

story, the scene of which, for some reason that we do not understand, the author has chosen to lay in Elf-land. There is something hollow and false in all elfish things, according to the accepted view of these matters ; and we should have pre- ferred to believe that Flora and Florette, and the other persons in this little drama, were solid and true.
