IV. THE INN OF STRANGE MEETINGS, AND OTHER "Mr. Collins has an undercurrent of chivalry and romance beneath the trifling vein of good humoured banter which is the special characteristic of his verse.

RECENTLY PUBLISHED NOVELS-(continued). VII. HER TITLE OF HONOUR. By HOLME LEE. One vol., crown 8vo. (Second Edition.) "It is unnecessary to recommend tales of Holme Lee's, for they are well known, and all more or less liked.
