The House of the Wolf. By Stanley J. Weyman. (Longmans.)

—This " Romance " of the times of the St. Bartholomew massacre professes to be "a modern English version of a curious French memoir or fragment of autobiography." We can only say that if " Anne, Vicomte de Caylus," wrote this and wrote no more, a very pretty literary talent was lost to the world. It is a very spirited story indeed. The " Wolf " is a very imposing figure, as fine in its way as anything that we have seen for some time.
