The Twilight of Love. By Charles H. C. Brookfield. (Ward

and Downey.)—This book contains what the writer is pleased to call "four studios of the artistic temperament." People who may possess this temperament will scarcely be pleased by Mr. Brook- field's estimate of it ; of all the gifts in Pandora's box it seems to be the most unsatisfactory. Anything more repulsive than these four " studies " it would be difficult to imagine.—Clenehed Aniaganisms, by Lewis Ivan (Digby and Long), is the work of a writer who wishes to be the sternest of moralists. He has a righteous indignation against wrong, and the denunciation with which the story ends is really eloquent. Yet we cannot think that he does well to be angry in this particular fashion.
