The Quiver. (Cassell and Co.)—There is nothing to be said
of the Quiver that we have not said more than once before. It is a very carefully conducted magazine, up to the average of its con- temporaries in literary merit—and there is a really surprising amount of good writing in the magazines of the day—and above it in regard to the illustrations. There is a series of papers on "Great Preachers," not, perhaps, the names that we should have selected, but there may be others to come; and others which are distinguished by the title of "A New Book of Martyrs," dealing with those dark pages of ecclesiastical history which tell of the efforts of Rome to crush the spirit of reform ; a great variety of miscellaneous essays, &c., commonly dealing with serious topics (we may note a paper on "Missionary Work among the Cree Indians ") ; and the usual complement of long and short stories.
