Poor Lady Massey. By H. Rutherford Russell, (T. Fisher linwin.)—Lady

Massey is a clever sketch. She is a worldly woman who contrives to impose for a certain time on her daughter, and always on the world. Dolly, the daughter, on the other hand, is a simple, affectionate creature, about whom it is a pleasure to read. There is nothing now about the novel, except it be the way of folding the paper on which it is printed ; but it is good to read.
