EpNHURGu REVIEW. American Edition, pub
lshcd by the Leonard Scott Publishing Com
rauy, NJ. 3S Walker street. New York.
The April number contains several papers Of
interest to the general reader OF these We
notice one "a the subject Of Water supply 70
populous communities by artificial means
subject Of immense importance, The article on
the Reconstruction Of the American Union is a
very readable one. Il is written in a very dif-
ferent strain from those which characterized
almost every thing which appeared in the Eng
lish Magazines when the higher and influential
classcs Of the English people we're locking with
/ confident expectation for The destruction Of the
/ Union and doing all they dared to to forward
tie work. Occasional mistakes as to fact, and
inaccuracy rs to sentiment and purpose among
cur own people are scattered throughout the
article but as whole i, contains great deal
Of discriminating and sensible reading about
both men and measures.
THE Eclectic MAGAZINE Of Foreign literature.
By W. II. BiiNell, Editor and Proprietor, New
Yark. The July number Of this valuable
Monthly has a finely engraved frontispiece re-
pfes'nting the celebrated English writer, and
member Of Parliament, JONI STUART Mill; Of
whom there is also given brief notice. The
number contains above twenty articles, all inter
esting The article on the English troops in the
East shows Us that an army Of 10000 mon
kept up to its complement by annual recruits
from home, to make good the excessive mcrtali-
ty in Ini1, is needed there to guard against the
risb Of outbreak from the native Indian soldery
and the consequent loss Of English rule IN that
quarter, &c. Compare this with the moderate
number which Congress is hardly wiling to
have maintained in cur own large country The
article Of which we are referring dRells with
force upon the great waste of life in the English
army of India from disregard of proper sani-
tary measures and the needless location oftroops
in unhealthy positions.
THE GALAXY, published by ". c. & FTP.
Church, New York, has now reached its 9TH
number, and bids fair to prove great success.
The July number contains great deal of lively !
reading.
GoDEr's LADr's Book, for July, is fully up |
to the mark of this noted Magazine. Its colored |
fashion plate is brilliant as evef, and there are
plenty of cuts Of the sOup-p plate and barber
basin bOnnets, all the rage just now.
