The English Illustrated Magazine, 1887-1888.
This magazine keeps well up to its standard of excellence. In respect of the illustrations, the most important series of articles is Mr. W. Outram Tristram's "Coaching Days and Coaching Ways," the architectural w)rk being contributed by the pencil of Mr. Herbert R,ailton, the figure and genre drawings by that of Mr. Hugh Thomson. Of the "Glimpses of Old English Homes," by Elizabeth Balch, we have Penshnrst, Arundel Castle, Hinching- brook°, and Eridge Castle. Miss Gordon-Cumming supplies two articles, fully illustrated by herself, on "Pagodas, Aurioles, and Umbrellas." Among the literary contents of the volume may be mentioned Mr. Swinburne's ode "To a Seamew ;" "The Story of Jael," a tragically powerful sketch by the author of " Mehalah ;" and Professor Minto's elaborate historical study, "The Mediation of Ralph Hardelot."
