OUR BOOKING-OFFICE.

_In Leisure Time_, by W. S. MAVOR (ELLIOT STOCK) is,

so my Baronite reports, a daintily-bound little volume of blameless

verse, unambitious, as may be inferred from its title. The author

writes like a classical scholar, his lines are fluent and melodious,

his metre and rhyme unimpeachable, while some of the poems, such as

"Zaleucus" and "A Vision," rise distinctly above the general level.

In others there are passages which my Baronite--a sadly prosaic and

matter-of-fact person--owns to having found slightly obscure.
