"Mr. Kitton is already known as an artist, many of his drawings having appeared in this journal for some years past, together with occasional articles. The monograph is extremely interesting . . . .

"The stories told by our author have a decidedly Oriental flavour, and we would not be surprised if some foolish individuals did endeavour to procure some of the drug, with a view to ex- perience the sensation described by the writer of this clever brochure" Edinburgh Courant. The Valley of Sorek : By GERTRUDE M. GEORGE. With a critical introduction by RICHARD HERNE SHEPHERD. Crown 8vo, 2 vols. , cloth, i is. " There is in the book a high and pure moral and a distinct conception of character .... The dramatis persona .... are in reality strongly individual, and surprise one with their incon- sistencies just as real human beings do . ... There is something powerful in the way in which the reader is made to feel both the reality and the untrustworthiness of his [the hero's] religious fervour, and the character of the atheist, Graham, is not less strongly and definitely conceived .... It is a work that shows imagination and moral insight, and we shall look with much anticipation for another from the same hand." Contemporary Review.
