The White Dove of Antriteir. By Eliza F. Pollard. (Partridge
and Co.)—Tales of the Mutiny must always have a peculiar fascination for most readers, and a writer, by introducing one or other of the famous men who carved out such undying fame for themselves, is sure of an audience. Thus Nicholson figures in this story, and he and his devoted Sikhs are in evidence continually till the Siege of Delhi. We will not anticipate by explaining who the "White Dove " is, but may remark she is in Delhi, defended by her faithful Sikhs, subsequently to the rise of the Sepoys, and
thus affords the authoress the opportunity of some stirring descrip- tions of the loss and capture of Delhi. It is a pretty story, and the mystery surrounding the heroine is heightened by the Indian background and the stirring scenes at the outbreak of the Mutiny. Nicholson and the Sikh chief, Futteh Singh, are two striking figures, and will attract all boys and girls.
