LITERARY NOTES.

The multiplicity and excellence Of
other magazines. far from lessening
the usefulness of the Review of Re-
views, makes this unique periodical
more and more necessity. Its indexes.
condensations Of leading articles, class
ified lists of new books, and general sur
vey of things written, things said and
things done during the month preced-
ing, its issue, would suffice to keep the
busy reader in touch with the current
of life and thought, even if he were able
to read nothing else. The December
number is as full Of variety and fresh
ness as its predecessors have regularly
been: and to those who know the Re
view of Reviews this is a sufficient COM
mendation.

nance, since the beginning of its
twelfth volume, allows scope for
greater variety than ever in its con-
