 Novel* are aa usual exceedingly numerous, and 

 noteworthy onea very much leas so. Gahrielc d'An- 

 nunzio. whose sty le one Italian critic finds labored 

 and affected, is in vogue just now. His novel u Le 

 Vergini delle Rocce" (first published in -II Con 

 vito." the dainty organ of u Young Italy ") is tlie first 

 of the " Romanzi del Giglio." D'Annunzio appears 

 to have a decided preference for French critics and 

 reader*, in which connection we are reminded that 

 there i* much imitating of the French among Italian 

 novclbu, and that French books are much read in 

 Italy. Giuseppe Errico publishes four sad but 

 cleverly written vtories of poverty and sorrow under 

 iavi bianchi.'' Further new

 of the Taaao commemoration, i* criticised as obscure, 

 like much of his recent work. <;;-. \-anni I'ascoli,

 obscure in language, i* chaste and simple in ton. and 

 thought, and *harea the melancholy which, we are 

 told, characterize* all modern Italian poetry. The 

 drama - La Soltera," by O. Sinovoli, a schoolmaster, 

 treating of the lamentable condition of the workmen 

 fal the fulphur pit* of Sicily, enjoyed a triumphant 

 eaaaa in that iland a success attributable to any 

 brn artistic eauaea, for in Italy the play was criticised 

 for to* awkward technique and clumsy dialogue,
