READABLE NOVELS.—A Freelance in Kashmir. By Lieut.- Colonel G. F.

MacMunn, D.S.O. (Smith, Elder, and Co. 6s.) —An exceedingly complicated and difficult, but intimate, romance of Kashmir in the late eighteenth century, in the days of the great anarchy.—Lily Louisa. By Mrs. Stanley Wrench. (Methuen and Co. 6s.)—Mrs. Wrench's story of a country girl who becomes an artist has no especial originality to recommend it, but is capably written.—The Profit Family. By Benjamin Vallotton. (Grant Richards. 6s.)—An interest- ing and unhappy novel, concerning a middle-class Swiss family. The translation, by Miss Louise Chataway, is admirable.
