By an interesting coincidence, we have before us at this moment a couple of volumes from the pen respectively o fLady Wilde, and of her son, Mr. Oscar Wilde ... Mr. Oscar Wilde's contribution is a little book comprising of four short stories, the first of which 'Lord Arthur Savile's Crime,' gives its name to the volume (Osgood, M'Ilvaine and Co.). These tales have not the special and peculiar merit of Mr. Wilde's fairy stories or even of his 'Dorian Gray.' They are slight in idea and structure, but at least they are not commonplace: they strike a note of their own, and are therefore considerably above the average of such productions. They may be read with pleasure, if without much sense of being impressed. The get-up of the booklet is particularly neat, and does much credit to the publishers.
