Cassell's Magazine. (Cassell and Co. 8s.)—The distinction of this volume

is that it contains Mr. Rudyard Kipling's " Rim." That alone would go far towards making up its value, though one would not for choice read a novel in this form. And there are other things also. In the domain of fiction there are contribu- tions from Messrs. Max Pemberton, S. R. Crockett, and G. Manville Fenn. We see also the name of "John Strange Winter," and the nom de guerre of " Under the White Cockade." There is a good supply of subjects of the day. Altogether the magazine keeps up to the high level of former attainment. The illustrations are not unequal. The frontispiece is particularly attractive ; a " Rembrandt Reproduction" it is called. We do not dispute the appropriateness of the term " eminent firm of art publishers,' but it is hardly in place whore it stands.
