A Stormy Lif e; or, Queen Margaret's Journal. By Lady

Georgiana Fullerton. 3 vols. (Bentley.)—It seems ungracious to say that the pains Lady Georgiana Fullerton has taken with this novel have not pro- duced an adequate result. Nevertheless, we can pass no other judg- ment. Remembering the early works of the same author, we have a

right to expect more than a laboriously faithful picture of the life of Henry VI.'s Queen, for Lady Georgiana used to interest us deeply, and in this book she interests us no more.
