The Pearl of Lisnadoon ; or, a Glimpse of our

Irish Neighbours. By Mrs. Ensell. (Elliot Stock.)—This is a short (120 pages) and rather slight story of the boycotting of a landlord in Ireland shortly after his marriage, with its consequences to him and his family. The tale is told pleasantly and naturally enough, while there is nothing particularly noticeable either in the characters or incidents.
