The Animals' Friend. Edited by G. S. Trist. (Office, 20

Victoria Street.)—" This volume," writes the editor in his pre- face, "contains the first sixteen monthly issues of The Animals' Friend, and therefore represents the birth and infancy of a magazine born in faith and nurtured in hope." We are glad to see that the venture has been, considering the difficulties of starting a new periodical, a fair success. We wish it prosperity with all our heart. The journal is published monthly, and now consists of four-and-twenty pages for a penny. Both size and price have been doubled.
