A lovingly written study of the character of Montrose, purporting to be by his sister. It has great sweetness. =448. The Draytons and the Davenants.= By the Author of the ‘Schönberg-Cotta Family.’ (Nelson) 3_s._ 6_d._ Conscientious Roundheads and Cavaliers, a little too much inclined to think everybody in the right. =449. John Inglesant.= By J. H. SHORTHOUSE. (Macmillan) 6_s._ Too grand and deep a book for the average readers of a parish library, but one that cannot be omitted here, though it is a very Triton among the minnows. It is a real study to such as can appreciate it. =450. The King’s Namesake.= By C. M. PHILLIMORE. (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ A child’s tale of the captivity of King Charles. =451. St. George and St. Michael.= By G. MACDONALD.

Brave Dame Mary.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ The first siege of Corfe Castle made into a fairly interesting tale. =453. The Pigeon Pie.= By C. M. YONGE.

The Two Swords.= By EMMA MARSHALL. (Seeley) =456. Dorothy’s Venture.= (Nelson) 6_d._ Prettily told of a child begging her uncle’s life of Cromwell, but with historical blunders. Vane had long broken with Cromwell. Moreover, the Protector loved practical jokes, and he is here said to have despised them. =457. Rosamond Fane.= By M. LEE. (Griffith, Farran, & Co.) 3_s._ 6_d._ The escape of the Duke of York, very well told, so as to be thoroughly acceptable to children. =458. The Children of the New Forest.= By Capt. MARRYAT. (Bell) 5_s._ (Routledge) 3_s._ 6_d._ Adventures of the orphans of a Cavalier so related as to be a treasure to children. =459. Woodstock.= By Sir WALTER SCOTT.

(National Society) 3_s._ 6_d._ A young runaway who serves under Admiral Blake, and, being taken prisoner, goes through very interesting experiences among the great Dutch artists. =461. The Carved Cartoon.= By AUSTIN CLARE. (S.P.C.K.) 4_s._ Awkwardly named, but exciting much interest even in persons with no knowledge of history by the vicissitudes of Grinling Gibbons, the carver, in the Plague and Fire of London. =462. The Brave Men of Eyam.= By the Rev. E. N. HOARE. (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ 6_d._ The plague at Eyam. Authentic records told as a story, but unfortunately rather dry. =463.= =Peveril of the Peak= (SCOTT) would complete the roll here, but it might not be desirable for all readers. =464. In the Golden Days.= By EDNA LYALL. (Hurst & Blackett) 6_s._
