Tue North British ReUielo for June
has recently been issued by the Leon
ard Scott Publishing Company, and
completes their series Of publications
for the quarter just closed. This
ReDiei0 is a great favorite with many
readers; the editor has of late years
shown good judgment in the selection
Of subjects, and it has ceased to be
the organ Of mere local interests. OF
the eight articles in the present num-
Der, those on the History of Writing,
on Sleep, and on Louis X of France
Saint Louis, will be acceptable to
all classes Of readers. The first
named article gives an account of
iac-similes Of national manuscript
lately published by authority in Eng
land, and is full Of antiquarian in
formation Of the most readable kind,
and the paper on Louis TX is one of
marked biographical and historical
interest. Other articles are-Mistral' 8
Mireio Ga review with many extracts,
of very pleasing Provencal poem),
the Greek Idyllic Poets, Memoirs of
Baron Bunsen, Schools and Univer-
sites, Churches and Creeds. He
must be hard to please who finds this
number dull reading.
The RiVersic}e, for July, has strik-
ing frontispieco from the Eastern
story in the Arabian Nights" of the
Alrite who was released from jar by
the fisherman; a terrible, portentious
figure rises like a great cloud and
oyerspreads the sky. while the fisher
man is seen on his knees in startled
horror, supblicating the monster. For
outdoor summer scenes there are two
papers Of excursions: /" NV Three
Gardens, and About Frogs" to-
gether with more Of Mr.. Abbott's
Hunter and Tom" while Miss.
Thomas, Western writer, Describes
with apietUresqe power, scenes on the
prairies. The Fourth of July is re-
lnembered in various ways, by an ac-
count Of Joseph Warren's grafton in
Boston Old South Church, Just before
the Revolution; by the beginning of a
short series of pictures of New
York in early days, in which
the three noticeable entrees
Of Washington into the city
make the central point; by sketch
OF Patrick Henry, and by series
OF eight amusing pictures headed
Mimic Warfare" There are some
lively verses, also, on the Third of
July" One quaint paper is called
Three Little Artists" and contains
fac sin1iIe sketches of the little ar
fists work. The number has good
show Of illustrations, and more than
the usual variety Of articles. Pub-
