READABLE NOVELS.—Second Selves. By Algernon Gissing. (John Long. 6s.)—A modern
story, in which the self-sacrifice of Geoffrey Morton will be found rather difficult to credit.—The Meddler. By H. de Vere Stacpoole and W. A. Bryce. (Alston Rivers. 6s.)—A wild farce chiefly concerned with the doings of a very mild curate under the aegis of a fast young man of fashion.

(Harper and Brothers. 6s.)—A story of American life ; the reader must be prepared for lapses into dialect.—Jael : an Australian Story. By E. L. Sutherland. (Elliot Stock. 6s.)—A powerful story of the tragical kind.—The House of Murgatroyd. By C. C. Andrews. (Cassell and Co. 6s.)—Here we have a family skeleton, discreetly managed, with some quite healthy living people.
