LIsHISG Co. al Barclay Street, n. Y, should
not be passed by unnoticed.
The first article is long and interesting
review of "Macready's "Reminiscences" Civ
ing a sketch of his life and connection with
be stage, which began at the early age of
sixteen years. Ii is evidently the ~produc-
ton of a writer who does not deN0 his
knowledge merely from the book which he
reviews.
Article II. il an exposition ,~f the work of
Indian Missions; the difficulties they meet
with and the progress they have made, both
in secular and religious education. Looking
at the results achieved by Indian missions, it
is evident that they suggest reasons both for
disappointment and for encouragement but
We are Of opinion that the reasons for en-
couragement decidedly preponderate
Article iii. Lord Shclburne-First Mar
guess Of Lansdowne." "ie was Prime Mi
mister of England during n brief but most
important period and has been called 1.-THE
ablest and most accomplished minister of
the eighteenth century" These, memoirs
which describe the period between 173 and
1866, seem TO be siInilar in character to the
"Greville Memoirs"
Article W.. National Education in the
United States has for its object, the correc-
ton Of prevalent English ideas regarding the
working of the American Educational Svs
tenn. The subject is discussed in all its
bearings, but the result of the system is
not considered sufficiently successful to war
rant its adoption by other countries
Article V. deals at length with tho contro-
versv hetween Dir. Gladstone and DR. New
man, Cardinal Manning and Monsignor Ca
pei.
The notice of 'Iivingstone's Last Jour

views of that work by directing attention
to the curious aud valuable notssuwesle by
the grvesss0veller on various KuSQl eno-
mcna, N-1 contain many suggesfisr !acts'"
Article VII. "The Statue of Memnon" re-
fers particularly TO the voice with which
that celebrated statne was wont 10 greet
the rising. slIn. 1t is shown clearly that
there was no priesteraft in the case in fact.
the priests themselves were a. ignorant of
the cause ~ any Of the visitors. The sounds
were produced by the passage Of rarefied air
through the crevices of sonorous stone. When
the statue was reconstructed, and the crcvi-s
ces filed up the voice was mute.
Article VIII. "The Transition from Medic
val to Modern Politics" is an attempt TO
throw light on the Imperial and Papal move
ments Of our own time, by carefully consid-
dering similar actions in the sixteenth CEN
t1ry. tTt 'h.i 10 >v,rps-es
Article IX. england ms -,
East" shows the relative positions of those
nations of further advance on the part of
Russia making il necessary for England to
