Miss Caroline. By Theo Douglas. (Edward Arnold. 6s.)— "Miss Caroline"

is really a very dashing young cavalier who, in consequence of a duel (the date of the book seems to be Georgian) is in hiding in the house, and costume, of his sister. The heroine, who tells the atm, is really the most interesting person in the book, and she very properly and wisely refuses to fall in love with " Miss Caroline," whose duel, indeed, was not of an edifying character. The story is rather pleasant reading, and the old-world flavour is cleverly contrived.
