The June number of the Gentleman's Magazine is notable for
the variety of its contents. Of its articles, "Forgetful of all Ill," a pathetic story of thwarted vengeance ; "Tree-Lore," by Mr. Anson Fairer; and "Flies," by Mr. Phil. Robinson, strike us as the most enjoyable. There is a good deal of sound sense in Mr. Fox-Bourne's paper on "Dante Gabriel Reasetti," but at this time of day Mr. Bourne might have confined himself entirely to literary criticism. Among the numerous stories that virtually constitute the Jnne number of Belgravia, the ghastliest, "A Midnight Walk" and "The H— Street Affair," are the best. The solitary illustration now to be found in this magazine should either be improved or omitted. Mr. Macnab's representation of a scene in Mies Tytler's story of "Disappeared," is unworthy of him and of Belgravia.
