A Prisoner of War. By F. A. Inderwick, Q.C. (Sampson

Low, Marston, and Co.)—Mr. Inderwick lays the scene of his story in Romney Marsh ; the time is the end of the French War ; the principal characters are the " Prisoner " and sundry citizens of Winchelsea, prominent among them being the " Agent," a rascally person, who does not hesitate at treason, not to speak of other mal- practices. The story has a fair amount of interest, and the various personages are drawn with some cleverness and force. Mr. Inder- wick takes care that the Tory dogs should have the worst of it.
