The Quiver, 1893. (Cassell and Co.)—This magazine continues to show
its characteristic merits. Its fiction is sound and whole- some ; the miscellaneous contents of great variety and unfailing interest. The "interviewer," of course, appears, but it is not by any means in an offensive form. On the contrary, thera is not a little to be learnt from what he tells us. If a reader should desire to know what is meant by " Archidiaconal Functions" he should study the account which Archdeacon Sinclair (London), gives us of his day. Of course his position makes his duties somewhat exceptional. Another subject for the interviewer is Mr. Ballan- tyne, the writer of tales for boys, with whose views of his work, so far as he was pleased to unfold them to his interlocutor, we are glad to become acquainted. The "Scripture Lessons," and the religious side of the magazine generally, are much to be com- mended.
