      -1815 ) , by Archibald Weir , M . A . Mr . Weir has been rather unfortunate in his title to tfiis introductory study to the history of Europe in the

      nineteenth century . It docs not convey anything . l , ike an idea of the scope of his work , which is nothing less thnn a successful effort to give a logical review of the great of events from

      which the European history groups in the nineteenth century has been formed . Much eare and ability is

      shown Rhowri b bv y Mr Mr . . Wei "Wair r in in his his stud st . nrl y v . , anq and the thn result result . is i « . the production of a singularly luminous example of . historical workmanshiVery interesting chapters

      England / th ^ e * New Political Economy / and " ' National Literature and Art in Germany / These headrngs will give some ideat T > f the .

      direction of Mr . Weir ' s investigations . Although the subject is wide , ifc is treated in an readable and instructive manner . A good index is given . an

      society life in rather a telling manner . In the story itself there are some things which people of acute moral sensibilities may object to . The

      author ' s style of narration is spirited , and well suited for the plot he has conceived . From E . M the . Abd same y- . William — ' The s World ( Mrs . Below Bernhard / A Whishaw novel , h ) j . The author of these three volumes somewhat

      disarms criticism by the intimation that she has

      been very ill , and thus unable to devote as much attention Under the to circumstances her work as she therefore would have we liked shall ,

      say commonplace . We cannot -but think that had the author intended to display the hardshiof the London andafter a mild |

      fashion ps to enforce the doctrines poor , of , Socialismshe would have , done better to plunge into the subject , at onceand to have made this the main lot of ]

      the story , instead of ,- as at present , a mere p factor in it . But when we have said this , our . we are afraid almost ungracious , fault-finding must end .

      If Mrs . Whishaw ' s novel be somewhat wanting in force , this is more than compensated for by charm of manner and pleasant style . It is a story to read on some quiet eveningwhen the mind is

      disinclined for violent effort , , but requires to be agreeably interested without having its depths stormil stnrrmlv y agitated ao-itatpd b bv y sensational Rftnsatinn * il murd murder er or or

      influence over poor the reader , may may not be merely
