The Gentleman's Magazine gives us a good number. The first
instalment of " Philistia," by Cecil Power, is good. We shall be interested in hearing something of a young Oxford Socialist, as Harry Oswald promises to be. Mr. Grant Allan is as readable as usual, when he writes about " The Garden Snail," and not too arida- ()ions when he traces its ancestry to a pond snail or a marine mollusc.- Mr. R. A. Proctor criticises severely transcendental mathematics.. We are glad to think that the clientele of the magazine relishes such solid food as Mr. Proctor supplies them with. Mrs. Lynn Lynton, in her "History in Little," takes us into byways of Italian history ; and 14r. Edward Walford contributes a pleasant antiquarian paper, ir• "A Pilgrimage to Merton Abbey." The other articles are "The Fehmgericht," " Fireside Notes," and the customary " Table Talk."
