The Century Magazine, May - October, 1908. (Macmillan and Co. 10s. Gd.)—Perhaps

the articles which will attract most attention in this volume are those which are carried on from an earlier issue, " The Reminiscences of Lady Randolph Churchill (Mrs. Cornwallis- West)." These, however, have already been separately noticed in the Spectator of October 17th. Among the other contents we may mention "The Spell of Egypt," by Robert Hichens. Other articles are a defence of Japanese business morals, by Professor George Trumbull Ladd ; a paper on Andrew Carnegie, by Mr. D. H. Bates; an appreciation of Signor Lombroso, "Prophet and Criminologist," by Guglielmo Ferrero; and an account of "General Grant's Last Days."
