William Orleigh. By Esme Hope. (Remington and Co.)—This is an

interesting book ; but it puts out false pretences by calling itself a novel. It is the history of political and religious evolution in the intellect and the soul of William Orleigh. As such it is attractive, and to a certain extent valuable, although crude and dogmatic ; but a story it is not.
