Four Red Night-Caps. By C. J. Hyne. (Eden, Remington, and

-Co.)—This is a story of a pleasure-trip taken in a small yacht of ten tons along the Western Coast of Scotland. A certain kind of humour is appropriated to this kind of narrative. We cannot profess to have much liking for it, and would much prefer the story told in a straightforward manner. Something, however, may, we do not doubt, be learnt by those who may care to follow the example of the writer and his comrades.
