Memoirs of Mary Robinson (Perdita). With Introduction and Notes by

J. Fitzgerald Molloy. (J. Lippincott, Philadelphia.)— This is a new edition of a book which the world could have spared without much loss. Mrs. Robinson told her own story, not very ingenuously, up to the time of her accepting the attentions of the Prince of Wales, her junior, by the way, by about three years. Mr. Molloy continues the narrative, but not in a way to commend a subject possessed of but little intrinsic interest.
