THE LONDON MERCURY.
1.r it contained nothing else of interest the fact that the London Mercury for October contains a short story by Mr. Walter de la Mare would be sufficient to make it an excellent number. Mr. de la Mare is a short story writer of quite extraordinary quality (" Seaton's Aunt," which appeared recently in the London Mercury, is in itself enough to prove that), and it is gratifying to see that he continues to express himself in this medium. Among other interesting matter is an article on "The Novels of William de Morgan," and Prof. Edith Morley has delved in the inexhaustible Remains of Henry Crabb Robinson and has excavated various references to Carlyle, together with some important letters from Carlyle to Robinson which, strange to say, are now published in England for the first time. The number as a whole seems to us one of the best that the Mercury has given us.
