The Carthusian is a species of Magazine, undertaken by some

young gentlemen of Charterhouse, with a promise, or expec- tation, of assistance from older hands who have been educated in that remote region. The tone of the .work smacks of course of the school ; and the articles which aim at. most literary origina- lity, are Unit. ins of successfully-established Magazine modes, as the " Noetes " of Blackwood. The publication, however, is smart and clever, and almost rises to vigour. "A Bit of Advice" reminds us of PRAED, whew in his younger days he incited sparkling verses for the then Whiggish New Monthly.
