THIS WEEK'S BOOKS

To the Golden Writing Room (thus was named the counting house of the ruggers at Augsberg) came letters from all the great cities of Europe retailing the latest news of wars, piracies; alliances and gossip of the gorgeous times when Elizabeth was Queen and owner of England. The second series of the Fugger Naps Letters (John Lane, 18s.) is written' by keen correspondents with eyes wide open to the Fugger advantage, and makes one of the liveliest boot s we have seen for a long time. The volume will be reviewed in our Literary Supplement of April 17th by Mr. E. F. Benson.
