THE FARMERS' MAGAZINE.

A digest of everytting worth the immediate cog-
nizance of the agriculturist. The essays are confined to
no mere section of farming, they apply to the entirety of
the profession. One paper wo must particularly mention
for its utility—"Pleuro Pneumonia." The Farmers'
Magazine must prove a boon to a very important class.

With this, its fourteenth number', Dolman's Magazine
commences under new and favourable auspices ; the
editorship has fallen into the hands of Mr. Miles Gerald
Keon, a young author, who has so identified himself with
the social, theological, and literary position of Catholics
—who has evidenced such a pure, tolerant, and sustained
enthusiasm for the cause of his religious brethren—and
who, in doing so, has displayed such capacity as a rhe-
torician (and we apply the term in its most compre-
hensive sense), as to afford a solid assurance of his com-
petency for the office. His editorial address, of itself, is
a clear exposition of the spirit with which this periodical
will henceforth be animated ; it promises largely, with-
out Ostentation ; it ambitions much, without betraying
audacity ; it advocates, in a bold and manly manner, the
views of one portion of the community, without en-
croaching upon the bias of the remainder. As to the
exact principles upon which this magazine will be eon-
docted, we cannot do better than quote the language
of the present editor :
Those principles are two—the first is the conciliation of
Protestants; the second the reconciliation of Catholics. . . •
. The magazine shall lose no time iu entering upon the high
and difficult career to which we have pointed . . . . We
would fain have it address the general public; and
address it in a light, attractive manner.
We have our quarterly review; we have our weekly
newspaper; shall we not have our monthly periodical?
. . . . Possessing, then, a grave and scientific critical
journal, and a widely-circulated political organ, shall we not
also possess a lighter literary representative? On the
library-tables of the kingdom we occupy a place; in the
political mind we occupy a place; in the drawing-room and
the gallery, in the studio and the cabinet shall we occupy no
place ? "
These sentences will give the reader some inkling of
the plans and the practical sentiments propounded in the
" Editorial Address ;" but they afford no notion what-
• ever of its more thoughtful and energetic passages. of its
eloquent earnestness in allusion to its higher creed, or of
the perspicuous enumeration of its contributors. Among
those contributors we find many names of unquestionable
eminence, as a testimony of which we may simply men
