Shorter Notices
The Cornhill. (John Murray. 2S. 6d.) THIS month sees the first issue of a new Cornhill under the editor- ship of Peter Quennell. Both editor and publisher are to be con- gratulated on its contents and its unusually attractive appearance. The success of Horizon showed that there is a substantial public for a purely literary magazine, but Horizon is a rather esoteric review of what seems to be designedly uneven quality. The new Cornhill starts with an array of brilliant names: Max Beerbohm, Elizabeth Bowen, John Betjeman (who contributes a delightful poem), John Piper (whose illustrated article, it is to be hoped, will be followed by others from the same pen). If it maintains the standard of its first number the new Cornhill ought to find a large, new public.
