    I^ I It is a matter for some congratulation that the first work we take from the pile vhicM

    lies on our right hand should be by that old and experienced master in fiction , Mr . Wilkifl Collins . We are thus forcibly reminded that we retain pleasurable links with the pastand

    that we have still some of the old and well-remembered writers A with us . Tlie Guilty X Hi , -veil ^ ^ M ( J . W . Arrowsmith , Bristol ) , if scarcely to be ranked with some of the best of Mr . Collins !

    none the less absorbing , and readers , we venture to say , call the book what they choose , wilfl not lay it down before they have devoured it to the last paragraph . I
