A Seventh Child. By John Strange Winter. (F. V. White.)—
This is a second edition of a story which is, we venture to think, more curious than interesting. The heroine is the seventh child of parents, both of whom are themselves seventh children. She has, accordingly, the gift of clairvoyance, it may be said, in double measure ; being able, for instance, to discover scenes in the past of those with whom she is put, accidentally, it may be, in rapport. This, it may be easily imagined, suggests various incidents more or less dramatic. These are cleverly told, as one might expect from the author ; but the impression left by the book is not as pleasing as those which we are accustomed to expect from "John Strange Winter's" pen.
