The annual volume of Cassell's Family Magazine is always welcome,
on account of the wealth of interesting information about almost everything under the sun, and the wholesome fiction in the form both of serial and of short stories, which it contains. These features the new volume presents ; but we notice in it, in addition, what we can only term a certain all-round crispness—of letter- press no less than of illustrations—which gives it the look of superiority to its predecessors, but which probably proves merely that the editor of this magazine is fully alive to the necessity of keeping abreast of the times. " Monica," the one aerial story in Cassell's Magazine whose fortunes we have followed 'Carefully from month to month, shows a decided improvement, as regards both style and plot, on the part of its author, Miss Evelyn Everett Green.
