Louis IVH. and other Papers. By Philip Treherne. (Fisher Unwin.

3s. 6d. net.)—Talf a dozen rather slight historical sketches make up this volume. The mysteries connected with Louis XVI.'s son are discussed in the first of them, while of the others one describes the prison of the Luxembourg during the Terror and a second is an appreciation of the somewhat unsympathetic figure of Barbey d'Aurevilly.
