Letters and Other Writings of the Late Edward Denison. Edited

by Sir Baldwyn Leighton, Bart. (Bentley.)—We are very glad to find here the fulfilment of the hope which we expressed when noticing last year the private issue of this volume. The appreciation of the com- paratively small circle to which the letters were then introduced was so hearty as to suggest with a force which could hardly be resisted the propriety of publication. This has now been done, The last nine months have in no wise diminished the interest of the great question of pauperism to which Edward Denison devoted so much of his strength. The singularly fine and gracious character of the man must always possess the same attraction. We are glad to see in the publication of these memorials of his work an enlarged opportunity of studying it.
