Mr. Finchley Again
THOSE who enjoyed Mr. Victor Canning's "Mr. Finchley Discovers his England," published last year, will be glad to hear that Mr. Finchley has emerged into publicity again. This time he crosses, the Channel, and in "Mr. Finchley Goes to Paris" (Hodder and Stoughton), Mr. Canning sends his hero, an unusually guileless solicitor, to the French capital on business. As his
friends will expect, Mr. Finchley k not long in Paris without getting into trouble, and his adventures make sufficiently amusing reading. It will occur to some to wonder how this exceedingly innocent young man ever held down a responsible job in the firm of Bardwell end Sprake; Mr. Canning does not explain this, but perhaps Mr. Sprake was a philanthropist. There is nothing unseemly in this book, and it can conscientiously be approved for universal exhibition.
