Among the recent omnibus " books which are becoming so

popular, we would, recommend Mesirs. -G011anaz's Great. Short Stories of Defection, Mystery and Horror, containing More than 1,200 pagei of shocks and starts and thrills for 8s. 6d. All the great names are there—Poe; Cdrian Doyle, W. W. Jacobs, Dickens (with " The Bagman's Uncle," which is Surely one of the best stories ever written), and BramStOlser and H. G. Wells. Mrs. Belloe Lowndes is represented with ller Last Adventure " and Aldous Huxley by The Giocof14-a Smile." We congratulate Miss Dorothy Sayers on the editing.
