• My Lord lVinchenden. By Graham Hope. (Smith, Elder, and

Co. 6a.)—We cannot but own, with the remembrance of "A Cardinal and his Conscience" before us, that "Graham Hope's" new novel is a great disappointment. The theme of the former book was so originally treated, and the character of the Cardinal de Lorraine was so well conceived and vivid, that this present slight romance of the days of Charles II. must necessarily seem a

great falling off. The book may be said to be readable, but it is certainly not conspicuous for originality.
