Young England, vol. xxvii. (The Pilgrim Press. 6s.)—Of the two
serial stories one is a tale of the days of James III. of Scotland; the other has to do with adventures in the West with Red Indians and other dangerous folk. There is a good allowance of other fiction which has to do with adventure and sport of various kinds. Is it playing the game, we may ask, to take a big trout with a live mouse? The "Miscellaneous Articles" begin with directions how to build an aeroplane. It sounds a little perilous that an amateur should venture himself on an aeroplane built by himself. Hunting in various places of various creatures, cricket, football, rowing, school affairs, and many other things furnish forth an entertaining volume. We observe that there is a short notice of Pitcairn Island. There is a population of 150 inhabitants, with a large proportion of women, the oldest inhabi- tant being the grandson of Fletcher Christian, the leader of the Bounty' mutineers.
