MEMOIRS OF A MOTHER-IN-LAW.

By George R. Sims. 6th Thousand. Cloth, 2s. 6d.

"This is a pleasant sample of 'Dagonet's' semi-humorous writings. He has a peculiar talent of finding amusement in experiences relating to dwellings, servants, shopkeepers, tradespeople, and other folk connected with the domestic household, and the 'Mother-in-Law' in his new book deals in a very masterful way with all the foregoing subjects, and many more besides. The lady has a mind and way of her own, her mood is the imperative, and what she says and does as guardian, not only of her own but of her son-in-law's house, is spiritedly told by Mr. Sims, especially in the earlier chapters."—Freeman's Journal.
