We have received a first instalment of six volumes of

a new collection of popular novels (Eveleigh Nash, is. net each) which in format is closely modelled on that of the Tauchnitz edition. The type and paper are so good that the volumes, issued in a plain paper cover, might well tempt their purchasers to have them bound, irrespective of their contents. The novelists so far admitted to the series are of different schools and varying order of merit; it may suffice to mention the names of Joseph Conrad, "John Oliver Hobbes," and Arthur Morrison, represented by Almayer's Folly, The Herb Moon, and The Bed Triangle respec- tively.
