indeed deserves to find, considerable favour from country readers, or
rather from readers who love the country. And, indeed, country: delights Sad their most ardent devotees among the dwellers in towns. Some of the subjects here discussed are for the town as well as the country. On the whole, however, the matter is appro. priate enough. There are papers on natural history, and on all kinds of sport, the various kinds of which hunting, racing, and cricket may be taken to be respectively the types. Then there are some dozen descriptions of country houses, varying greatly in degree ; for we find Alton Towers, the Bishop's Palace at Salis- bury, and a country vicarage among them. It throws a curious sidelight on the secular aspect of the Church of England to find one of its parsonages figuring among the notable houses of England.
