A brilliantly clever and racv story which fully sustains the high reputation the author has already achieved by his "Sinister Street," "Sylvia Scarlett/' etc., and amply justifies Mr. Punch's assertion that Mr. Mackenzie s future is bound up with what is most considerable m English fiction. The hero, John Touchwood, is a successful romantic playwright, and the remaining "dramatis personae" include his nu--jncrous poor relations and his fiancee, all cleverly entertaining character-studies.
