20 OCTOBER 1888, Page 20

The most interesting articles in the London, as in the

Church Quarterly, are those which do not deal with theological and ecclesiastical questions, such as "Richmond Palace," "Local Government," and "Irish Manufactures." By far the best paper, however, is one on "Cruising and Dredging," which seems almost out of place in such a Review as this. It tells the story of a six days' cruise in an eight-ton yawl, from the queer old harbour of Poole to Ryde, to and across the Solent, and up Southampton Water. The writer is full of enthusiasm for his subject, and really does make "wonders from the familiar start."
