My Own Times. By Lady Dorothy Nevi11. Edited by her

Son. (Methuen and Co. 153. net.)—Like the two earlier volumes by the same author, this book contains large numbers of disconnected anecdotes interspersed with reflections upon the subject of tempera mutantur. The anecdotes vary in interest, but are on the whole less amusing than in the previous collections. We may point out to the -editor that the name of the sculptor of the Duke of Wellington's monument was not Albert Stevens.
