In the confusion incidental to the removal
| ofour establishment to newquarters, number
of publications sent for notice were mislaid
and overlooked. The fact is our apology for
not having sooner given them due attention. I
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW for April con-
tains articles on " Italy and the War of 1862
"The Papal Drama, I" Thomas Hobbies, ,""Con-
temporary Music and Musical Literature, !"
New America" Mr.. Swinburne's POETRY
The Hopes and Fears of Reformers," and the
usua revies Of Contemporary Literature
/ The papers on Italy and on English Reform
are full Of valuable and condensed Information.
The review Of Mr.. Dixon's New America" is
extremely interesting Referring to the becu.
liar kind of comment which that book has
elected the writer remarks that sreal toleration
is, after all, an excellence yet but dimly con-
ceived in England,'i it being only found in
proportion to the amount of indifference with
which the ruth professedly tolerated is re-
gardedd,"' The estimate, Of Mr.. ,Swinburne is
| on the whole favorable. The resume, of CON
temporary literature in this number is excel
lent as usual. Heonard Scott PUBLISHING:
