Sir Thomas Urquhart. SIR,-In your notice of my book, Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromartie, your critic has inadvertently ascribed to me an error which I did not commit. He quotes the following passage and quite truly describes it as "remarkable": "It is probable that [Urquhart] died much sooner, a victim in all likelihood to fiery restlessness of spirit. This conjecture is, however, improbable." And he adds: "How can a man bring himself to think so loosely?" The first part of the passage is itself a quotation from Sir Theodore Martin. The second is my comment upon it. Sir Theodore Martin thought it probable that Urquhart died several years before the date usually given as that of his death, I think the date usually given is correct. The use of inverted commas in the text of the volume makes my meaning plain, though, as I have said, your critic has inadvertently misread the passage. I quite agree with him in the severe criticism he has passed upon my book, and have no doubt but that the volume contains many more flaws than those which he has pointed out; but I hope that in justice to me you will kindly insert this letter in your next issue. I am, &c., Lerwick, Shetland : Feb. 7, 1900. J. WILLCOCK. New Books Received. [These notes on some of the New Books of the week are preliminary to Reviews that may follow.] LAW WITHOUT LAWYERS. By Two BARRISTERS-AT-LAW. Into this volume of more than seven hundred pages has been gathered whatever legal information is most likely to be required by those who consult it. It be may described as a sort of first aid to litigants, and probably not its least service will be to restrain its readers from going to law. Many good citizens hardly come in contact with the law between the cradle and the grave, but even to these this work may be useful as means of getting light on the conduct of law cases and criminal trials of public interest. To tradesmen, ratepayers, masters and servants, innkeepers, testators, and many other classes and characters, special sections are addressed. (Murray. 68.) a SONGS OF THE GLENS OF ANTRIM. BY MOIRA O'NEILL. Miss Moira O'Neill's wistful poems of the love of Ireland have pleased many readers of Blackwood's Magazine and the Spectator. She finds words for the old sigh of the exile, often banished no farther than to England-in hay-harvest. Over here in England I'm helpin' wi' the hay, An' I wisht I was in Ireland the livelong day; There's a deep dumb river flowin' by beyont the heavy This livin' air is moithered wi' the bummin' o' the bees; I wisht I'd bear the Claddagh burn go runnin' through the heat Pust Currymeela, wi' the blue ɛky over it. There are twenty-five short poems-shamrocks all. (Blackwood. 3s. 6d.) to Peel in 1841. It will be remembered that Disraeli, in 1846, denied having asked Peel for office five years before; and on that account the letter in question has been generally regarded as affording proof of a mean and dishonourable action on his part. I have submitted this letter to a high legal authority, and he at once pointed out to me the fact that Disraeli made no direct application for a post in the government. . . . Both the letter and its explanation find a place in this volume, and no doubt the unprejudiced reader will readily adopt the latter, in preference to tarnishing the otherwise spotless reputation of a statesman to whom the present generation owes a deep debt of gratitude.

Our Weekly Prize Competitions. Result of No. 21 (New Series). WE regret to say that this Competition has been disappointing. The conditions were stated in the following terms: "Every family where writing games are popular has some game of home manufacture. We offer a prize of a guinea for the description of the best original writing game-that is to say, of the best game for an evening party in which paper, pencils, and brains are involved. The word original would not exclude a good adaptation of a well-known game; which is the form that home-made games often take." This, we think, makes some originality in the game a necessity; but, with the exception of two or three, all competitors send descriptions of games with which we have been familiar for years. The best answer-an adaptation-is this, from Mr. G. Howe, "Holwood," Grove-park, Lee, S E.: or Everyone has heard of the "book tea "book at-home," but few, perhaps, have thought of adapting it to the form of a writing game. A moment's consideration will show that it can be done in a surprisingly simple manner. Suitable slips of paper having been provided, each player sketches at the top a picture or diagram representing the title of a well-known book. For example, to take a few instances from my own knowledge, a picture of a policeman in full chase of a runaway pickpocke: has been made to represent Kipling's A Fle-t in Being ("A Fleeting Being"); the words "Robin Hood and his Merry Men" to represent The Forest Lovers; or portraits of Buller and Roberts to represent The Heroes. Many similar ideas will at once suggest themselves. The slips bearing these sketches are then passed round, each player in turn writing at the bottom of the slip what book he considers the sketch to represent, adding his initials, and then turning up the edge to cover what he has written. When the sketches have returned to their original owners the correct solutions are given by each player in turn, together with the guesses written on the slip, one mark being awarded the owner of every correct solution. It is as well to limit the time for making the sketches, say, to three or five minutes, any who are not ready in time not competing in that round. Answers received from: G. H., London; J. C. S., Dulwich ; F. E. W., London; E. C. W., Oxford; B. R, London; M. H., Twyford; S., Cambridge; E. R., Coldharbour; J. C., London; A. E H., York; E C. M. D., Criediton; M. B. C., Egham; E.

To the current number of The Artist Mr. Charles Godfrey Leland contributes some mottoes for the fronts of houses. We quote three expressing different thoughts: Though it a thousand years should stay, This house I've built for me and mine, May it be of peace a shrine, And may no enmity or sin, Ever find its way therein ! If this house be fine or not, That was ne'er my serious thought, A prize of a guinea is offered for the best four-lined motto suitable to be inscribed on a house. Mr. Leland's quatrains are given merely as examples: there is no need to follow their sentiments if others occur. RULES. Answers, addressed "Literary Competition, THE ACADEMY, 43, Chancery-lane, W.C.," must reach us not later than the first post of Tuesday, February 20.
