The republication of Mrs. Juliana Horatio, Ewing's writings completed by

a volume of Miscellanea (S.P.C.K.) "The fact," writes the editor, "that she did not republish the papers during her life shows that she did not estimate them very highly herself; but as each one has a special interest connected with it, I feel I am not violating her wishes in bringing the collection before the public." We should be sorry indeed to lose anything of Mrs. Ewing's. "The Smut" and "The Crick" are capital parodies of Hans Andersen. "Tales of the Khozri," translated from the Turkish, were also well worth preserving.
