The Mischief of a Glove. By Mrs. Philip Champion de

Crespigny. (T. Fisher Unwin. 6s.)—This book is a historical romance of the time of "Bloody Mary." It is fairly well constructed, though on rather commonplace lines. The reader, for instance, will feel that he has met before both the gentleman who hides in a suit of armour and the lady who dresses up as a boy in order to ride and convey a warning to her lover. The book is quite readable, if rather slight, and the characters are not badly drawn.
