The Private Llfe of the King. By One of his

Majesty's Servants. (C. Arthur Pearson. 5s.)—We do not much like this kind of book. But as it is bound to come, it is well to have it written by some one who knows, and has every reason for showingodiscretion, tact, and taste. This can truly be said of the volume before us, and it is not necessary to say more. The subject will sufficiently recommend it.
