Macmillan's Magazine. September. (Macmillan.)—As this maga- zine escaped us last
week, we mast mention it separately. One of its most notable features is the conclusion of Mr. Henry Kingsley's wild story, " Silcote of Silcotes." Mrs. Norton's " Old Sir Douglas " gains in interest. Mr. Stephens gossips pleasantly with the portraits at South Kensington, and Mr. Bertram takes us over ground with which he is familiar by discussing the lessons of recent foreign fishery exhibitions, and notably that of Arcachon. Lord Hobart is always very earnest, if not very clear, and his " Working Men and War " shows his usual characteristics. Professor Bain's article on " The Correlation of Force in its Bearing on Mind," and a paper on "Roman Flint Sparks," will
find their special readers, while an article bearing the puzzling title of
" Personal Statistics " may be warmly recommended for general reading and meditation. Taken all in all, Macmillan is a fair average number, but now that the editor is freed from the perturbing force of Mr. Henry Kingsley's most eccentric comet, he will, no doubt, be able to raise his standard, and will no longer be contented with a moderate level.
