The Italian Gazette. (Published quarterly. 17 Pitutra Cavour, Rome,)—Relations between

Italy and Great Britain have always been,sympathetic, and any effort to strengthen them will be given hearty support. We therefore welcome the appear- mice of this magazine, which seeks to give those relations the "securer and more precise material" basis of mutual economic and political interests. It should help considerably to break down the language barrier between_the two countries to have a magazine printed in English, giving authoritative matter con- cerning the interests of Italy for the information of the commer- cial, economic, and financial world of this country. The first number contains a greeting from the British Ambassador, and conspicuous among the many- articles for their practical use are "On Italian Ports," by Ignazio Inglese, and " How to Increase Trade between Italy and Great Britain," by Luigi Luggi.
