and is entitled pretentiously " A Cornish Capitalist's
Hint for an Exchange"—a rather large heading
far just four lines of doggrd, the head of a Mon-
ster on the legs of a Mannikin " The Life of
an Architect" is continued with further gabblings
by way of literary, theatrical, and artistic reminis-
cences. " A Family Trip to the Seaside" is ap-
propriate to the season, when the Smiths and
the Jeneses are dabbling systematically in the
vicinage of bathing machines. A long contribution,
and one which will be universally accepted, by
those who read it, as a novelty, is the one headed
" The Saddlebags." Another describes the " Memoirs
of a Man of the -World." Another reviews the
writing of Madame Dunoyer as among the " Popu-
lar French Authoresses of the last century. Besides
the foregoing, the Miscellany comprises a variety of
good-natured notices of books recently published.

Traveller's Library, comprises the whole of Frederick
I Hardman's translation of Edward Jermann's " Pic-
turei from St. Petersburgh." As another cluster of
Grimm's Household Stories we have " The Soaring
Lark," and other quaint productions of a similar
character. The new number of The Charm, besides.
a profusion of woodcuts, contains a merry description
of " Home for the Holidays." The Picture Pleasure
Book is still more profusely illustrated. The
1 ariner's Magazine consists, as usual, of a
mass of papers of great practical interest,
and such as may be consulted with profit
by the agriculturists. In the Sporting Review
we are rejoiced to observe that an old favourite in
the sporting world—Harry Hieover—has commenced
the account of his " Life and Adventures." The
serial, which we trust may be sufficiently protracted,
cannot but prove fraught with entertainment. Be-
sides this the " Review" embraces, among other
things for September, contributions from Craven,
Ilornywink, Foxglove, Castor, and Hawthorne,, to-
gether with engravings by Beckwith and Engle-
heart. The Ladies' Companion would be interesting
for the present month if us only attraction were the
portrait of Mary Howitt, but, in addition to this
illustration, the monthly magazine of the fair sex is
rendered remarkable by a story from Frances Brown,
by some verses from Mrs. Abdy, and by another
chapter on " German Legendary ',Ore," from the pen
of Mrs. T. K. Hervey. As ever, the Church of
England Alagazine is crowded with effusions appro-
priate to this class of periodicals. Perhaps the most re-
markable, as it is certainly the most interesting, paper
in the Eclectic Review, just issued, is the criticism
headed "The Arctic Robinson." Charles Knight's mag-
nificent imperial Cyclopcedia has this month reached,
under the subdivision of " The British Empire," the
description of " Parsonstown." The engraving pre-
fixed to the instalment before us represents, within
the limits of a single plate, most of the noblest
public buildings in London—an illustration singu-
larly appropriate to the work under notice, which in
every essential respect rises to the dignity of a na-
tional enterprise. Under its new editorship, that of
the accomplished Mrs. S. C. Hall, Sharp e's
London Magazine is already extending and
strengthening its reputation. A. better number of the
periodi and this is the "eighty-third" according
to the old series,hasnotbefore appeared than the one
September. As to the
edited by Mr. S. C. Hall, it continues to
maintain what it has long achieved, the fame of being
the most distinguished of all the artistic periodicals
