The Omaimsaa's Magan-me.—Chatto and Windus,
Piccadilly. Seldom has such a scathing exhibition
been made of the unhealthy power of the Ritualist
prient, an is displayed in the sketch of the Hon. and
Rev. Istuncelot lareelles, the "Anglican Catholic"
vicar of Cnieholine. If such divisions in families,
such subjection of the fairer sex to the priest, are to
take place as are exposed in "Under which Lord,"
then the time is more than come for Englishmen and
religious men in particular, to increase the fierceneso
of their war against the new Antichrist. The tale is
not by any means perfect, for the great opponent of
the usurping priest is not a Christian, but an
"agnostic," and of course, he miserably fails. Even
that conveys a lesson—that a living faith is
necessary
es
give strength even for defence of self and
family his. The writer, Mr. Lynn Linton, sketch
the Low urchwoman rather unkindly In giving us
Lady Maine, and we fancy could he have known the
leading spirit of a parish not more than thiee miles
from Dorchester, we might have had a :Lyre loveable
type of the Church lady. But, as an misault on the
" "Under which Lord "iii fittira; to arouse
some flagging zeal, and teach clergymen what it pars-
ing in free-thinkers' minda—The Scientific parte are
thorough and exact, and social science is carefully
dealt with. " Prince Napoleon " needs careful
reeding et the pm.' time, while the magazine is
pleasantly wound up by light Table Talk.
Belprelie.—Chattoft. Windt's, l'iccadilly,W. "Queen
of the Meadow" is am full as ever of the croon purprsier
love rif Polly and Michael, and only slightly heginis
to clear up, though one is still in fear (or the happiness
of the lovers so divided by hesitancy anckhalf-mutrunt,
"The Italian Poets" lets us into the details of the
middle-age life, when every lady had a "cicisbe "
besidesher husband, rust every "gentleman"
of society had to be the faithful and devoted servant
of some lady—my lady save his own wife; when ladies
had their hai joadered by the shower of flour from
a nista above their heads, and when people entered
"the ecclesiastical career' with no hope but that of
icking nii • livi •by some little bit of iniferment.
"The Transfused onned "is a tab of the love
of • man who perpetrated the oat world fancy of
beginning his name with two small f's an oddity not
yet died out, and approys iutoly enough, this is followed
by an article on ',inexplicable DIIIIII3 Show;" but
this relates to than int., ,ductions to the playin•.: of
Shakespeare'. plays. The scene of " Daniel the
Cricket" is laid in Scotland, and as usual fella us a lot
of things we don't care about, among 'near interesting
matters.—" Our March Out" is a_ genuinely Englishbit of humorous writing, describing the &int:" of
volunteers on • held day, and very lauglutble is the
tale. "Donna Quixote "has its share of semations,
and appears decidedly readable, especially for ladies,
as is the book throughout.
