RHADABLE Noveas.—The Power of the Keys. By Sydney C. Grier.

(W. Blackwood and Sons. 6s.)—An excellent story, such as the author's name wakes us expect. Still, in reading a novel the majority of readers do not care to be bothered with politics, especially if the polities are a little out of date.—The Awakening of Bittleshant. By G. F. Bradby. (Smith, Elder, and Co. Os.) ---An amusing story of the experiences of an enthusiastic " Back- to-the-Land" man.—A Lovely Little Radical. By Alice M. Diehl. (John Long. 6s.)—Here we have the love-story of the "princess-like creature," heiress of the Dormers.
