The Working Men's Club and Institute Magazine. No. I., Oetober
; No. IL, November, 1864. (John Jarrold and Sons.)—This sensible and practical little work is the organ of the Working Men's Club and Institute Union, to which Mr. Gladstone has recently become a sub- scriber. The Union itself is the natural bond to unite these clubs, and it needs some regular mode of addressing them such as this maga- zine offers. Working mon are not accustomed to co-operation, especially in social matters, and many a difficulty may be removed or, still better, prevented by this record of the experience of others. We agree with the editor of the magazine as to the importance of the intelligence depart- ment. Clubs should make it a part of the regular business of their secretaries to keep the editor well informed. Among the papers already published, one by Mr. Westlake on the "Southampton Workmen 'a Halls" is a good specimen of the sort of paper which will be useful to founders of clubs. The magazine deserves to be warmly supported.
