This * L'Europe is a collection et l'avenement of dilo du matic Second reminiscences Empire . . ' The book is divided into p sections thus I . A

the desperate straits to which many of the bravest subjects of the Czar are reduced by the political tyranny and police espionage which
prevails in Russia . The character of Alexia Wassiljevitch , the chief * conspirator' in this realistic description of Russian tyranny and
Polish intrigue , is singularly well drawn , and though in many respects the plot of the story is improbablethe interest of the reader is
caught at the , outset and held with growing excitement until the curtain drops at the end of the second volume on this strange and often
terrible drama of life . < _ > From Messrs . Macmillan A Co . —' The Miner's
Right ; by Rolf Boldrewood . 3 vols . The author has set himself the task of depicting life at the Australian gold diggings , and haw
accomplished it to perfection . There is scarcely anything in the novel which does not read as if the author is relating actual fact .
Indeed , the air of naturalism throughout gives one the impression that he is reading a faithful history of the gold craze which commenced
in 1851 , rather than a work of fiction . The outline of the story—* Robbery Under Arms 'is simplicity itself , and is merely a romantic
ch setti aracters ng for as varied story as br t he mful colours of incidents and forms in a kaleidoscope . The hero , Here ward Pole , the
younger son of a gentleman-farmer in Kent , eager for some enterprising pursuit and bent on accumulating a fortunebecomes infected
with the gold-fever and depa , rts with a comrade in humble life for the diggings . He is engaged k : ' __
