Rose of York. By Florence Bone. (R.T.S. 2s.)—This is a

story of a time which is perhaps the most fertile of stories of all times in the annals of England,—the war of Cavalier v. Round- head. Very picturesque and well put together it is. There are not a few good scenes in it, and among the best is where Rose, the heroine, bars the entrance to the Minster against the Puritan troopers who would have stabled their horses there, and is protected by Fairfax. There is no finer figure in all the story of the times than Fairfax, and to do him justicq is a sign of success.
