Paul Blake. By Alfred Elwes. (Griffith, Ferran, and Co.)— Paul

Blake is a boy who goes through some moderately exciting adventures in the Island of Corsica. We can hardly call the tale a good one, but the scene is laid in a country but little known, and bandits and other bad characters figure in it ; so that some boys will be able to read it and overlook its improbabilities, and' want of much that helps to render tales of adventure probable.
