ERRATUM.--Mr. Jonathan Cape calls our attention to a mistake we

made in reviewing Mr. Alfred Tresidder Sheppard's new novel, Brave Earth. Our reviewer described it as " a serious novel which opens in the reign of Henry the Eighth, and goes right on to the days of the Stuarts." In fact, it is entirely a Tudor novel, and ends in the reign of Edward the Sixth. - On the jackets of some copies the closing date is given as 1650 instead of 1550, and our reviewer erred in trusting.. to the jacket rather than to his own memory.
