All that was Possible. By Howard 0. Sturgis. (A. Constable

and Co. 6s.)—" Of the fashionable but essentially repellent class of books to which it belongs All that was Possible is one of the least objectionable that we have seen." These words were applied- to Mr. Sturgis's novel in our columns shortly after its first appearance nearly eleven years ago, and we cannot better them as a succinct estimate of this episode in the life of an actress of quality now that the book reappears in a new edition, though no indication of that fact is given on the title-page.
