THE TREASURE OF GOLDEN CAP. By Bennett Copplestone. (John Murray.

7s. 6d. net.)—With its talk of Dorset and Devon, of Grenvilles and Carews, of sca-rovers and privateers, The Treasure of Golden Cap stretches long arms back to the days when England was still essentially an island and Englishmen lived by the sea. The whole book has the tonic effect of salt water and Mr. Copplestone has a very happy way of linking up old and new romance.
