Little Great - Grandmother. By Mrs. Herbert Martin. (G. Rout- ledge and

Sons.)—Little Lady Betty is a very charming child, the orphan daughter of a certain Lord Estridge. She comes down, after her father's death, to the family house, under the charge of her gouvernante, Mrs. Stanley, and there makes acquaintance with the country-side generally, and especially with the family of Squire Tempest, —a wild, passionate man, who is the terror of all about him, his son Geoffrey only excepted. How the little lady influenced for good her rough neighbour and his son, who is just at the point where the two paths of good and evil divide, is well told in this little volume.
