The Life Story of the Late Sir Charles Tasters Bright.

By E. B. Bright (Brother) and C. Bright (Son). (Constable and Co. 63s. net.)—These two volumes are the story writ large, but not too large, for those who are specially interested in the subject of submarine telegraphy. Charles Bright was not one of the men who waste time in waiting. He was married before he was twenty-one (having been then engaged nearly two years), and he was knighted at twenty-six. These and other interesting traits of personal life and character increase the interest of a remarkable story of successful achievement.
