Poses WORTHY Os' CONSIDERATION.—Jericho Street. By Wallace B. Nichols. (Grant.

Richards. 5s. net.)—There is something unfortunately prosaic about much of the verse in this volume. However, the analysis of Jericho Street, where at least one of the inhabitants of each house is anatomized, is interesting. We note, however, the somewhat damning fact that the reader feels that these pieces might have displayed Mr. Nichols's psychological insight still better had they been written in prose. Tales of the Donegal Coast and Islands. By Elizabeth Shane. (Selwyn and Blount. 3s. 6d. net.)— Pleasant little dialect pieces descriptive of Irish places and people.
