The San: a Family. Magazine for General Reading. (Nisbet and
Co.)—This is the first volume (including the eight months, May to December) of a new venture. We wish it all prosperity. It gives an abundance of good matter, contributed by writers of high reputation, among whose names we notice those of Edward Garrett, Gordon Cumming, Emma Marshall, H. Wood, and Sarah. Tytler. An interesting series of papers on " Scottish Poetesses " may be specially mentioned.—We have also received the second half-yearly volume (May-October) of the Century Magazine (T. Fisher Unwin), a periodical which continues to main- tain a superiority which can hardly be said to be seriously chal- lenged; and the Journal of Education, January to December, 1888 (W. Rice), also a periodical which, for ability of editing and variety of information, takes a first place among journals of its class.
