26 DECEMBER 1868, Page 24

The British Workman for the year appears with an attractively

terrific picture of a Red Indian. We have also to acknowledge The Friendly Visitor (1868) (Seeley) and Chatterbox (1868) (Macintosh), both agree- able items among the good things with which the little ones of the pre- sent are so plentifully provided. The Sunday at Home and the Leisure Hour are twin magazines, which, to borrow an illustration from a well known story, may stand for the two characters of Grave and Gay. Both, it seems, are published by the Religions Tract Society, but it is only the more serious child that is formally acknowledged by the presence of the parent's name on the title-page. Both, if we may judge from a very hasty glance through more than sixteen hundred largo octavo pages, contain plenty of good reading.
