The Geationsa'e Maaazine.—London : Chatto and
Windus, Piccadilly, W.—The first feature of this
capital shilling's worth is the anti-ritualist tale "Under
Which Lord ? " and a catastrophe happens on
Virginia professing to go " into retreat," for, with the
double-dealing which priestcraft favours, she deludes

Romish convent, causing a severe shock to the self-
willed "Hon. and Rev.," who assumes the priest. Dr.
Andrew Wilson discourses on "Missing Links,"
aiming to support the theory of development of living
creatures from lower forms; Dr. Win, however,

quite ready for the closing Table Talk.
