The Fireside, 1889. Conducted by the Rev. Charles Bullock, B.D.
(Home Words Office.)—Fiction is less prominent in this magazine than it is in some of its contemporaries ; nor is it, in our judgment, the worse for that. Miss Emily Holt contributes one of her historical tales, which always contain, as our readers probably know, much more than fiction ; and there are other stories, one of which, of the humorous kind, by Mr. F. Langbridge, we have noticed elsewhere. The miscellanous papers are varied and interesting, and represent current topics of interest with a satisfactory completeness. We may mention Mr. Holden Rae's series of papers on" Journalism and Authorship," Mr. S. B. James's "Social Essayettes " (which might be made a little more concise in style with advantage), Canon Wynne's "Voices of the Year," and the "Sunday Readings" by various authors.
