Twice Rescued. By Nellie Cornwall. (J. F. Shaw and Co.)—

This is a touching story of a little boy rescued from drowning by an old Cornishman, and who is afterwards stolen by the gipsies and has to be rescued again. We have some interesting and homely details of Cornish life, and also mix occasionally with the gipsies in their Epping Forest home. The old couple, brother and sister, are a very fascinating study, and display the writer's knowledge of the quaint customs and manners which belong alone to Cornwall. There could not be a more delightful old man than " Granfer Gamelegs," or a more typical old-maid than his sister.
