“No Place for Repentance”: The second of the series of little novels (published by T. Fisher Unwin, of 11, Paternoster Buildings, E.C.) is a capital story from the pen of Ellen F. Pinsent. The scene is fixed at a village in the Lincolnshire Fens, and the novel deals in a forcible manner with the evils of excessive drinking. The descriptions of Lincolnshire rural life are extremely good, and accuracy of detail displays a close and critical observation. Much of the dialogue is the broad Lincolnshire dialect, and here the authoress must be congratulated on resisting the tendency to over-do the vernacular. The published price is 6d, and the little novel should have a large circulation in this county.
