The Animal World an Advocate of Humanity, Vol. XVII., and

The Band of Mercy, Vol. IX. (S. W. Partridge and Co.), are two periodicals, differing in some respects, as in size and method (the Chet being wider and, we may say, more practical in its scope), but both advocating in an effective way kindness to animals. Both are "issued by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals." We need not say that they have our best wishes and heartiest commendation.
