New Chronicles of Don Q. By K. and Hesketh Prichard.

(T. Fisher ITnwin. 6s.)—It was a true instinct which made the readers of the former volume of adventures of "Don Q." sceptical as to the finality of the brigand's disappearance. In the present book "Don Q," is as active as ever, but from the neces- sities of the ease the stories can have no very great variety or novelty. There seems to be no reason why K. and H. Prichard should not go on producing volumes of these adventures. ad infinitum. The reader can only hope that they will be merciful, and will in future employ their undoubted talent for story-telling in some more original and worthy manner.
