Tregeagle's Head. By Silas E. Hocking. (Warne and Co.)— This

"romance of the Cornish cliffs" is a good story. Briefly described, it is the tale of how a young man was accused of murdering his companion, and but very narrowly escaped being banged for it. It is worked up with a good deal of dramatic power. Mr. Hocking has the art of keeping well to the plot, and of working his details, which are picturesque in themselves, well into it. This is a book above the average of its kind.
