The Story of a Swiss Poet. By Marie Hay. (Berne

: F. Wyss. 20 fr. net.)—This pleasant book is a memoir of Gottfried Kelldr, the Swiss novelist, the centenary of whose birth was celebrated at Zurich last year. The author has woven into her narrative somewhat detailed summaries of Keller's stories, which range over a wide field and include Swiss mediaeval legends as well as modern themes. A portrait of Keller is pre- fixed to the book, which is a most creditable specimen of Swiss printing.
