We recommend to readers anxious about the history of this

war, three papers,—Mr. Morley's, in the Fortnightly Review, which is a little too eloquent, but is full of official opinions ; Lord Blach- ford's remarkably temperate and calm narrative in the Nine- teenth Century, which seems to us almost unanswerable as a de- fence for Government, unless some document has been concealed, and as a condemnation of Sir Bartle Frere ; and the extra- ordinarily lucid summaries of correspondence in the Guardian, especially of 27th February. The latter is, we think, the most remarkable specimens of the half-forgotten art of faicis-writing we ever remember to have read.
