',Boscastle, Cornwall, an English Enga- dine,' was reprinted from The World of 15 Sept., 1880, and published in the follow- ing year ; and ' The Christmas Hirelings ' was reprinted from The Lady's Pictorial (1894). Sixteen of Miss Braddon's novels were translated into French, one into Dutch ('Taken at the Flood'), and one into German (' Henry Dunbar ').

To the bibliography should be added the tales included in the three volumes pub- lished by Simpkin & Marshall in 1893 under the title of ' All Along the River.' This tale occupies the first volume, while the second contains ' Say the False Charge was True.' The third volume contains eight tales : ' One Fatal Moment,' ' It is Easier for a Camel ' (this had previously appeared in Printers' Pie), ' The Ghost's Name,' ' Stapylton's Plot,' ' His Oldest Friends,' ' If there be any of you,' ' The Island of Old Faces,' and ' My Dream.'
