The Thnck.rny Series.

The eleventh volume in the biographical
edition of Thackeray contains THE Ad-
ventures Of Philip" and "A Shabby Cen
teel Story" The introduction is chiefly
remarkable for several pen and ink
sketches made by the novelist one Of
which bears this inscription:
Father Prout"
Drawn by W. VI. Thackeray, at the Haunt &"
in lsi7. Presented to the NoTCk Club,
Melbourne.
great part of this chapter in the biog-
raphy is taken up with the history of the
"Cornhill Magazine" planned in the
spring of 1859. Thackeray said OF the
name that 1t had "a sound of jollity and
abundance about it," The magazine
seems to have had a phenomenal success
almost from the first. Mrs Richie says
that the names of the contributors are a
sort of history of the doing and thinking,
OF the action and philosophy, from 1860
onward Among the names found in its
contributors list were Tennyson, Ruskin.
Mrs Browning Swinburne, Lord Lytton,
Adelaide Proctor, owen Meredith, Irving,
Sir John Herschel. George Lewes, Mat
thew Arnold, Harriet Martineau, George
Eliot. Anthony Trollope Mrs Gaskell,
Charles Reade Wilkie Collins, George
Macdonald, and Thackeray himself.
Several old letters are quoted from cor
respondence relating to the "Cornhill. +"
There is facsimile of letter by Land
seer with two drawings. The letter is as
follows:
