THE BRITISH ARMY REVIEW for March is more
than usually interesting. It contains a clear, con-
cise, and well written paper on the Schleswig-
Holstein question, by Capt. W. W. Knollys, and an
abundance of original information on military sub-
jects.

BRADSHAW'S ITINERARY OF GREAT BRITAIN for
1864 is a perfect wonder of compilation. The
information required is quickly and easily obtained,
so that the most inexperienced railway traveller
will have no difficulty in arranging his tour into
the greatest exactness.

A pamphlet, entitled CLERICAL SUBSCRIPTION,
by Viscount Amberley, son of the noble earl the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has just been
published by Messrs. Edmonson and Douglas, of
Edinburgh. The article, when it first appeared in
the North British .Review, attracted much attention,
and since that time it has been thought desirable
to republish it in the present form. It is a most
promising contribution from the son of a ripe and
accomplished scholar.
Colonel Howard Vyso and the officers of the 2d
Life Guards yesterday entertained their new colonel, the
Marquis of Tweeddale, at dinner at Hyde-park barracks.
The Duko of Wellington, Sir Richard Airey, General
Foster, General Williams, the Hon. Edward Curzon, ecc.,
were invited to meet the noble marquis.
