from the pulpit; J. Aratoon Malcolm presents a plea for Armenia 

 in a paper entitled "Armenians' Cry for Armenia;" Louis J. 

 Jennings describes the imperfections in the English civil service as 

 illustrated in the admiralty; and the number closes with an article 

 on •' Meddling with Hindoo Marriages," by J. D. Roos. 



— The recent death of Canon Liddon will furnish the theme of 

 many an article in tnemoriam, and the Reviews are already print- 

 ing tributes to the memory of the great English preacher. Canon 

 Scott Holland opens the Contemporary Review for October with a 

 brief but sympathetic notice of the life and work of liis friend; 

 Sir Morell Mackenzie writes at some length on "The Use and 

 Abuse of Hospitals," and makes many suggestions that are of 

 value; Sir Dr. William Wright takes up the forward movement 

 in China, giving his attention to the progress of missions and the 

 conditions they have to contend with; Sir T. H. Farrer discusses 

 imperial finance of the Inst four years in the first cf a series of 

 papers on recent English financial methods; A. Taylor Innes writes 

 on " Standpoint of the English Law;" Michael G. Mulhall points 

 out the possibilities of naval warfare; Mr. Justice O'Hagan tells 

 the story of the life of Thomas Davis as an illustration of Irish 

 patriotism; and Dr. F. H. Geffcken contributes a thoughtful paper 

 on " The Economic Condition of Italy." The more strictly literary 

 portion of the number is to be found in the first part of a story by 

 Vernon Lee, entitled ''A Worldly Woman." 



— "The Problems of Greater Britain," based on Sir Charles 

 Dilke's famous work, forms the opening paper in the Westminster 

 Review for October; Ernest A. Vizetelly concludes his papers on 

 Paoli the Patriot; Jeannie Lockett makes a valuable contribution 

 to the divorce question in an article on "Clerical Opposition to 

 Divorce in Australia; " T. W. RoUeston tells the story of the Irish 

 Parliament and its struggle for reform in 1782-93 ; Frances Russell 

 ■contributes a brief and suggestive paper on " Neglected Path to 

 •Greatness;" Mr. George (J. Call describes the search for the lost 



Mr. Bathurst, whose disappearance in the early part of the cen- 

 tury has never been accounted for; Alice Bodington writes on 

 "The Importance of Race end its Bearing on the Negro Question ; " 

 and the number concludes with the usual review of the English 

 politics, and the department of "Contemporary Literature," re- 

 views of the latest books, — a feature of the Westminster which 

 has just been revived, and which was once its strongest part. 



— A new and revised edition of Jesse R. Macy's work on '' Our 

 Government" has appeared from the press of Ginn & Co. It has 

 always been deemed one of the best works of the kind, and the 

 author has endeavored to improve on the original edition in ac- 

 cordance with the lessons of experience. Mr. Macy's style of ex- 

 pression has no great literary finish, but is plain and easily intelli- 

 gible. The work is very condensed, and the student cannot read 

 it in a hurry; but this condensation enables it to convey a great 

 deal of information in a small space. It treats the whole subject 

 of governmental agencies, national, state, and municipal — treats 

 it, for the most part, well. One of the best parts of the book re- 

 lates to the administration of justice, — a subject that is apt to be 

 neglected in such works, but which is more important than any 

 other. Mr. Macy has given his chief attention to description, and 

 yet a good deal of information as to the purpose and uses of gov- 

 ernment is incidentally conveyed. The book deserves its reputa- 

 tion, and we hope will continue to be widely used. 



— The October number of the Fortnightly Review contains the 

 first parts of two new novels, — one by Count Leo Tolstoi, entitled 

 "Work while You have Light,' a tale of the early Christians; 

 the other by George Meredith, entitled " One of Our Conquerors." 

 Both these novels are highly characteristic of their authors, and 

 are destined to attract wide attention. The general articles of 

 the Review suffer no diminution through the introduction of the 

 new element and its development from the standpoint of a resi- 

 dent. The series of papers on " Modern Russia," by E. B. Lanin,
