As a guide to some of the writers most popular

to-day, we may cordially commend Mr. St. John Adcock's The Glory that was Grub Street (Sampson Low, Marston, 7s. 6d.). Thirty- two excellent photographs add to the reader's pleasure in Mr. Adcock's text. No very subtle analysis of literary values is attempted, but there is a deal of common-sense criticism and

much information pleasantly Conveyed. • _
