We have received the annual volumes of Cassell's Saturday Journal

and Cassell's Family Magazine. (Cassell and (lo.)—The former con- tains plenty of fiction—Mr. G. M. Fenn's "Affair Next Door" among it—and, we might say, plenty of everything. Its strong point, indeed, is the abundance of useful reading which it gives. Fiction, of course, has a prominent place in the Family Magazine also, and here we have to mention especially "A Wilful Young Woman," a tale of which, as it has since been published separately, we hope to say something on another occasion. The Magazine does not give the same ample quantity as the Journal, but it is got up in a superior style, and is, in its way, quite as meritorious.
