Edwin Loyd. By Minor J. Kelly. (Wells Gardner, Dalton; and

Ca.)—There is a good deal that is interesting in this simple narrative. The family of a poor tradesman are left almost desti- tute by his failure. In the belief that it is easier to get a living in a city than in the country, they leave their little village home and move to Liverpool. But work is not so easily found. They pass through hard times before things become brighter. The account of their sorrows and privations is given with a great deal of graze and pathos.
