Ada Triscott. By Captain Andrew Haggard. 2 vols. (Hurst and

Blackett.)—There is little to be said about this novel except that it is constructed on the ordinary lines. There is a hero who suffers wrongfully, and a villain—not, however, painted without some redeeming touches of light—who deceives one girl whom he does not marry, and another whom he does. Everything comes right in the end; but we may be allowed to remark that the money matters with regard to Captain Hemmings's money are arranged with an ease which would hardly be attainable in real life.
