Odin's Treasure. By W. Victor Cox. (S.P.C.K. 2s. 6d.)—This is

a story crowded with terrific incidents. In England one of the heroes—the bad one—murders a thievish attorney ; in Iceland,

where the scene is laid for the most part, there is a treasure cavern of the most startling kind, eruptions of Hecla, geysers, and other horrors. The most eager appetite for this kind of food will be satisfied. Still, it is a book which may be read with pleasure; the old Iceland priest is a very picturesque figure.
