MihS Jjtvis'fi, the translator of Miss Wallis historical novel, "In Troubled Times," has just sent to press with Messrs Swan, Sonnenschein and Co. a revised and abridged edition of that work. We also note that the same writer 'a novel, "Royal Favour," will be pubin a translation of Miss Irving, by the same firm. In the August Centur}' appears the first of three papers by Mr W. S.
