From the Leonard Scott Publishing Company
has been received the British Quarterly Reyieso
for April. Its opening article is comparison
OF the university systems of England and Scot
land, showing the difference in their origins
the life which they present to their students
the impressions which they leave upon their
minds, the methods by which they influence
the nation, and the constitution by which they
are governed. An interesting review of
Wallace's Russia treats of the past, present
and future of that country, going back thous-
and years, and showing her small beginning
and her rise, until che possessed despotic gov
ernment "a servile or frivolous noblesse, Cor
rupt bureaucracy, an effete priesthood, an I'm.
cultured bourgeoisie and a superstitious peas
antry," the improvement since the emancipa-
ton of the serfs, and the greater improvement
yet to come. Equal in interest is paper upon
Reform IN Turkey and Coercion, in which the
existing status of things in that country is dis
cussed. There are several other articles of
