Adventures in Thule. By William Black. (Macmillan.)—These charming "stories for
boys" came into our hands too late to be in- chided in our notices of the books of the season. And, indeed, they well deserve to have a place by themselves. With one of them, 'The Four M'Nicolls," many of our readers will be already ac. qaainted. No one who has read about Rob M'Nicoll, the fisher-lad, who so bravely helps himself and his young kinsfolk, but will like to hear of the doings of the other youngsters of the same brood. Colin M'Calmont, who, going to frighten French fishermen from stealing sheep off the uninhabited island of Fariskeir, meets with a very strange piece of good-fortune, and Andrew Ross, who has the luck to stumble upon a small still (a proceeding which one would hardly think would make him popular), though scarcely equal to the original Rob, are very interesting young persons.
