In spite of the panegyrica be- stowed on this book by Arthur Machon and the Rt. Hon. H. A. L. Fisher we make bold to say it is disappointing. The plot is poor the treatment childishly feminine, The reader expects Maurice to have been guilty of some hideous cold-blooded murder when he was merely the victim of his own bad temper, The story which drags its monotonous tittle- tattle length throughout nearly three hundred dreary pages could have been compressed into forty. Even, then there would not be too much incident. One of the most boring novels we have read for a long time.

FRENCH MYSTIC'S WORK.

["The Scourge of Christ", by Paul Richard: Alfred Knopf, 7/6 net.]

This is a book that ought to appeal to all thinking Christians and non-Christians. The author is a French mystic who has lived many years in India and Japan and is evidently steeped in Bud-
