On the Edge of a Moor. By the Author of

"Probable Sons," ac. (R.T.S.)—When Miss Rhoda Carlton sets up her little establishment "on the edge of the moor" (making her £140 a year go a very long way), and sets herself, among other things, to redress the wrongs inflicted by a tyrannical landlord, the experienced reader knows what will happen. She, of course, is as blind as a bat, but he sees quite plainly that she is making friends with her chief enemy. Apart from this, the story is sufficiently readable.
