7s. 6d.)—An inventive fancy and vigour of narrative have always been -Mr. Fletcher's characteristic traits, and these qualities are abundantly evident in this story of a young London doctor, who, called to the death-bed of a foreigner, - falls in love with his daughter, and thus starts upon an inter- lude of mystery and adventure that leaves him the happy husband of the ex-Queen of an imaginary European State.
