REST HARROW.

Me. Matteice Hewlett's latest romance, - "Best Harrow"' (Macmillan, London), is SB artistic delight to anyone with a taste > for good writing, and the adventure of a tender and delicate imagination in the light and gossamer realms of fancy. The two principal characters, Jack Senhouse and Shanchia, who have now figured in (three of the author's novels, possess a if?- charm arid individuality which is entirely ; their own. Readers of ■ "Open Country" ': -■ and "Letters to Sanchia," know the pair £$:■;• k already. In his latest book, Mr. Hewlett has developed the fortunes of the wayward creature, half human, half divine, who yielded to an unworthy passion, whilst her genuine lover went about with-his head in the stars. Sanchia, after her stormy voyage r arrives in port at last. ' Mr." Hewlett, artiat as he is, has contrived in these later phases to reveal a natural development in the character of Sanchia. She has grown in knowledge and understandingof the world, in pity and deep human sympathy, though remaining still at heart the wild and elusive thing of beauty she was when Senhouse first met her wading in a woodland stream. Jack Senhouse remains the same, a Romany (says the Yorkshire Evening Post), who would have delighted the heart of George i" Borrow or Edward Fitzgerald. °
