RICLDABLE NOVEL3.—The Lonely Stronghold. By Mrs. Baillie Reynolds. (Cassell and
Co. 6a.)—A decidedly original story of life in an old "Pale" in the extreme North of England. The author contrives to introduce exciting adventures without their becoming incredible.—Second Marriage. By Viola Meynell. (Martin Seeker. 8a.)—There is more than a touch of poetry in this novel of life in the Fens. The romance of the engineer in the creation of machinery is very cleverly suggested.—The Return of the Soldier. By Rebecca West. (Nisbet and Co. 5s.)—A poignant and most skilful description of a diseased condition, varieties of which are only too common at present. So little is known of psycho- therapeutics that no one can deny the possibility of the success of the experiments by which the hero is cured, but the lay reader may find it rather diffioult to believe.
• Haren. By Mrs. Alfred Sldgwlck. London : Collins. [6e. net.]
