Illustrations. Edited by Francis George Heath. (W. Kent and Co.)—There
is a certain most commendable quality of solid worth in this magazine, the second collected volume of which we gladly welcome. Mr. Heath does not disdain fiction; indeed, he himself writes a serial story which runs through the twelve numbers. But fiction is not the staple. There are, besides the lighter articles which come under the description of " Amusement," some instructive
papers on " Art," among them a aeries entitled " Stepping-Stones to Sculpture ;" others classified under the head of " Economy," among which we may specify some interesting atatistice of some London daily and weekly papers ; a numerous list, entitled " Inventions," a special feature of Illustrations the value of which it is needless to point out; papers on biography and science, and reviews of books.
