Mrs. W. K. Clifford brings out her "Love Letters of a Worldly Woman" this day-with Edward Arnold.

Miss Mabel Robinson has gone to the same publishers with her new book, "Hovenden, V.C." Under the same name are new books by Clark Russell, Barry Gould, MacLaren Cobban, L. B. Walford, Mrs. Molesworth, W. E. Henley; not a bad list for a new house.

Messrs. Longmans have in the press the autobiography of an actress, not a great London actress, but an obscure member of a country company-of that class formerly called strolling actors. It is the only book which gives the actual life of the modern strolling actor. The experiences and anecdotes are strictly true. The author calls herself" Dorothy Wallis," and Mr. Walter Besant, who is personally acquainted with her, will contribute a preface to the work.

The author of "John Westacott" has completed a three-volume novel, dealing with English characters, the scene being laid partly in the west country and on the Cornish coast, and some exciting scenes in a picturesque part of Bohemia. The publication is delayed for the American edition. Amongst the publications in which this writer's work has appeared during the present year are Cornhill, the Times, Black and White, Spectator, Leisure Hour, Athenæum, the Author, Cassell's, &c.; and he is also contributing notes to some of the principal provincial dailies. His article upon St. David, which appeared in the English Illustrated some three years since, under the title of "A Dead City," has become the acknowledged guide to that quaint place, and in the programme of the meeting of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland at Killarney this year it was especially recommended to the members for comparison with the pre-historic remains in West Kerry.

The Duke of Argyll and his son, the Marquis of Lorne, have joined the Company of Novelists, in the series published by the Automatic Company.

Mr. George Saintsbury has introduced the Essays of Edmund Scherer to the English public in translation, with a critical preface. (Sampson Low & Co.)

We have received "A Descriptive List of British Novels," compiled by W. M. Griswold, and published at Cambridge, Massachussetts. The number of novels noticed is 916, from No. 1,025 to No. 1,941. What precedes No. 1,025 probably belongs to

Mrs. Edmonds, whose "Greek Lays, Idylls, and Legends" (Trübner and Co.) were favourably noticed some five years ago, has recently published a new book, entitled "Kolokotrones, Klepht and Warrior" (Fisher Unwin). The same publisher has also recently issued "Amaryllis," by the same author, and a book of fairy tales.

Mr. A. R. Ropes has published, with Seeley and Co., a Selection from the Letters of Lady Mary Wortley Montague, with an introduction.

"Cora Langton," the author of "Jock and his Friends," has written another children's book, A Parliament of Pickles." It is a funny,

natural, and pathetic story.

With regard to our announcement of Mr. Bertram Mitford's new novel "Golden Face; A Tale of the Wild West," Trischler and Co., we learn that its publication is postponed until the end of January

next.

Among the new books of the month must be included Mr. Henry Charles Moore's "Who was She?" published by Dean and Son with the October books.

The title of Mr. Walter Besant's new novel, about to run through Chamber's Journal, is "The Ivory Gate." It is the title of a novel by the late Mortimer Collins, which was published in the year 1866. Mr. Besant has been very kindly permitted by Miss Mabel Collins to use the title for the new story.

A Fourth Edition is ready of Sir Monier Williams' "Brahminism and Hinduism." (John Murray.)
