Finn the Wolfhound. By A. I. Dawson. (Grant Richards. 6s.

net.)—This is the story of a dog, but not of a common kind. It is full of adventure, of ups and downs of fortune, one might say of tragedy. We begin with his puppyhood—there is an excellent description of his masterful ways from the first—and follow him on journeys more varied and longer than commonly fall to a dog's lot. We see him fall—this is the gloomiest period of his life—into the hands of a "professor" of dog-taming, and finally leave him at peace, happy with his old master, the master himself comfortably endowed with favours of fortune.
