Sunday Reading for the Young (Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co.),

is a volume to be praised. The illustrations are sometimes particularly good, witness "A Soudanese Woman" and " Luigi " (on p. 56), and the reading is both varied and appropriate.—With this may be mentioned an old friend, often before noticed in these columns, and always with praise, The Quiver (Cassell and Co.), "an illustrated magazine for Sunday and general reading." The large list of well-known contributors gives a promise of instructive and interesting reading, which the pages of the magazine do not dis- appoint.
