Where Honour Sits. By W. B. Home-Gall. (Digby and Long.)

—Here we have well-worn properties of fiction which might, we think, be allowed to rest undisturbed. There is a hero who thinks that his lady is false, and afterwards, with splendid courage, rescues the man who has deceived him ; there is a heroine who is seized with that mysterious form of brain-fever, not known to the faculty, which is suddenly brought on by disappointment. We have read a little treatise on "How Not to Succeed in Litera- ture," which we venture to recommend to the author of Where Honour Sits.
