Atalanta. Edited by A. Balfour Symington, M.A. (55A. Pater- noster
Row.)—The serial stories in this volume are Mrs. Oliphant's " Sir Robert's Fortune," of which we shall doubtless have occa- sion to speak elsewhere, Mrs. Molesworth's " White Turrets," and "A Costly Freak," by Maxwell Gray (author of "The Silence of Dean Maitland"). Mrs. Molesworth contributes a series of papers under the title of "Things in General," which includes criticisms on books, and many other matters, receiving the apposite treat- ment which no one knows better how to manage than Mrs. Oliphant. Mrs. L. T. Meade contributes a paper on " Newnham College," the scene, if we remember aright, under another name of one of her novels. (We regret the severance of her connection with the magazine, though we have no reason to fear for its future under the management of the present editor.) The con- tents of the volume are, as far as we can judge, up to the usual standard of excellence; and the illustrations are, according to custom, notably good.
