The Boy's Own Annual and The Girl's Own Annual (5(3

Paternoster Row) are, as our young readers are probably aware, the annual issues of The Boy's Own Paper and The Girl's Own Paper. Each consists of more than eight hundred pages, with three columns in each. Fiction, generally of the exciting and adven- turous kind for the boys, with more of a domestic character for their sisters, adventure, history, a vast variety of information, entertaining and useful, sport, amusement, humour, and other things, go to make up the contents of the two volumes, which are, as far as we can judge, judiciously differentiated for their two

classes of readers. Both contain some excellent illustrations. It would not be easy to surpass these magazines, when the amount the variety, and the general value of their contents are considered in view of their price.
