A Daughter of Erin. By Violet G. Finny. (Blackie and

Son.)— This story is constructed on well-known lines. Mr. Herrick, an Irish landowner, dies, leaving an only daughter. The estate is entailed and goes to a nephew, who, coming from England, is viewed with dislike by the peasantry, and, from the circumstances of his succession, is not exactly a persona grata with the daughter. The usual complications follow ; how they end our readers may discover for themselves, not without some pleasure, for the book is well written.
