NEW REVIEWS.

Two sew revie-tre--I;•;;;;rtedwinle life this week 7.

one iimiiiiiiii;aig;;;Tition:iiti;;Fii;Tni-
versal Review of Polities, Literature, and Social
Science the other with the dimple heading, Bent-
ley's Quarterly Review. We the paw at once from
the universal to the individual; but the former,
perhaps because it must necessarily be an ahem:
tion, is of much lighter weight sad bulk than the
latter. The Universal is a monthly review, while
Bentley's, as the title indicates, belongs to the good
old family of respectable quarterlies. Strictly speak
lug, there is less room for a new quarterly than for a
good monthly review. We have no lack of ably
'redacted journals of the orthodox type. A bundle
of mays published every three months is, moreover,
in three days rather a heavy vehicle for current al-
liehm. On the other hand, we have hardly a Bogle
monthly Journal of mark devoted endlessly to cri-
ticise. Judging from the first number, we question,
however, whether the Universal is exactly fitted to
occupy le vacant ground. The articles, while care-
fully written, are deficient in spirit, vigour, and
widest acumen. The review, however, is open to •
more serious objection. The subjects are not well
selected, and in the literary department especially
it iA cot dirlefit tidtho tisse—Leasmine Aitken
only one recent book is noticed, and that a volume
of poems of comparatively little importance. The
paper on the " Hansel's' Poor" adds nothing to a
subject whose more obvious bearings have already
been efficiently discussed in the daily and weekly
newspapers. The political articles are more per-
tinent and valuable. The one on parliamentary
reform so accurately foreshadows the government
proposal on the subject, that one can hardly help
sapponing it meet have remised some indirect official
impieties. The two best articles in the number
are, the first, on "Literature and Life," and the
aimed, entitled" Russia and the Weet of Europe,
both of which are very readable and interesting.
The former discusses the position of literature es a
profierion, and the relations of literary men to
society ; but the subject is looked at frees too narrow
and isolated a point of view. There is no each anti-
pathy between literary men es a class and ordinary
society as the writer seems to imagine. Mach of
the satire that appears like hostility on the surface
of oar lighter literature is mere ed.:dation of a plea-
sant and heresies@ kind. It is the natural reaction
of lively spirits "genet the restrictions of conven-
tional intercourse, • reaction by no means peculiar to
literary men. Ofilcers, barristers, and dash-
ing youths of fashion rail just as mach
against morning calls and evening receptions,
heavy dinners, and 'esthetic teas, only their

It matters very little whether there is room or not
for Bealley'r Quarterly. A review of such ability
will make room for itself. The first number has all
the elements of an effective quarterly journal in
happy union, and if there im no falling Wits mucosa
is tolerably certain. Not one of the ten articles in
the opening number can be pronounced poor, while
many evince great ability, being marked by vigour of
thought, breadth of view, fulness of knowledge, and
the literary accomplishments that give point and
animation to a writer's style. The subjects too are
well chosen, many of the foremost books of the'
quarter being effectively handled in the literary
department, and the most important public
topics selected for discussion in the poli-
tical. We need scarcely add that we do not
7zattybise with the political opinions of
Ilawieta, whisk seem, by the by, to be iden-
tical with time ef a matemporary remarkable for
its critical rather than it, constructive faculty. But
we admire the ability sad general fairness of the
new journal, and heartily welcome its appearance
among the old quarterlies.
