NEW EDITION.—A Short Day's Work. By Monica Peveril Turnbull. (John

Murray. 3s. 6d. net.)—We are glad to draw our readers' attention to a new edition of this striking collec- tion of the writings of a girl who met with an untimely death at the age of twenty-two. Some additions have been made since the volume was first noticed in these columns some ten years ago, the most important being a number of translations from Heine. These, no less than the original poems and the critical essays which make up the rest of the book, show an accomplishment and an imaginative charm which are not easily to be forgotten.
