Master Magnus. By Mrs. E. M. Field. (E. Arnold.)—Magnus, a

little boy under the charge of a somewhat stern old aunt, makes acquaintance with some children whose doings he observes from his nursery-window. His ambition to do good, and the quaint ways which he takes of realising it, with the various changes and chances which befall a little boy when he tries to set the world right, make a good story in Mrs. Field's hands.
