THE ANGLO-SAXON REVIEW.
The new Anglo•Sazon Review (Mrs. George Cornwallis-West, 49 Rupert Street, W., 21, net) is bound in white and gold, the binding being copied from a work in the Library of Trinity College, Oxford, which was designed for Henry VIII. The Anglo-Saxon Review maintains its special character as a magazine of new and curious historical and biographical essays. Among the best papers this quarter are Mr. Sichel's "The Young England" and Mr. Sidney Low's "The Poet of South Africa." Another very interesting article is Mr. W. J. Loftie's account of Middlesex and its villages, under the title of "Prom London to Uxbridge." Our only complaint in regard to this article is that it is not detailed enough. One would like to know a great deal more about places that are only just alluded to. We trust the editor will give us some more topographical studies of London and its environs. Why should not Mr. Loftie write of under- ground London, tracing not only London's lost brooks—lost, that is, in underground channels—but also the great cellars, sewers, and subways which are scattered everywhere throughout ? No man could give all the vast vaults and cellars of London, but a map of all the known underground places and passages of London would astonish most Londoners.
