Hawkt000d the Brave. By William Beck. (Blackie and Son. 3s.

6d.)—Mr. Beck is quite right in saying that Sir John Hawk- weed has had less than justice done him in popular story. Doubtless it is because there is something remote, and even unattractive, in the Italian campaigns in which most of his life was spent. Here the fortunes of an English lad are associated with his career in a story which will be read with interest.
