Aunt Judy's Christmas olume(Bell and Daldy) ought to have been

noticed among the "Christmas Books," in whose ranks it holds no mean place. This volume includes the issue of the Magazine for the whole year. It might almost be said that the reasonable among English parents might be divided, a sufficient amount of means being supposed, into those who take in Aunt Judy's Magazine, and those will buy it at the end of the year. We have also received the Leisure Hour and the Sunday at Horne (Religious Tract Society), two stout volumes, with plenty of good read- ing in them, and well worth their price; Mission Life, edited by the Rev. J. J. Halcombe (Cassell and Co.); and Routledge's Every Boy's Annual (Routledge).
