Two Awheel. By Arthur Jose. (J. M. Dent and Co.

3s. &I. net.) —This volume contains some twenty sketches, stories, and descriptions of persons and places in Australia, especially, in Sydney, where some of them have appeared in the newspapers. The style is a little too ambitious, as when we read of "a drift- wood fire that roared against a cold contemptuous moonlight" ; but there are felicitous touches ; pictures that seem to realise themselves ; and some amusing experiences.
