In the Enemy's Country. By Anna H. Drury. (Griffith, Ferran,

and Co.)—Wo need not say much more in praise of this volume. than that it takes for its subject much the same theme as that treated by MM. Erokmann and Chatrian in their stories, and that it does not suffer from the comparison which is thus suggested. It is described on the title-page as "a story of 1813," and the- scene is chiefly laid in the little town of Stenbrack, the hero an& heroine being the young Parisian Philippe Epinay and the daughter of an English doctor. The bets noire of the tale is a Jew usurer, who makes himself generally odious and mischievous. The. story will well repay perusal.
