• The Hazlewood School Magazine is the production of the
pupils of an establishment in which we take great interest. Hazle-, wood had the merit of being one of the first schools which de- parted from the old and worn-out track of LILLY and BUSBY, Eton Latin grammars and horsing. Hazlewood is a real preparation for the business of life, and an instruction in those branches of knowledge where it is a pleasure and a profit to excel. Instruction is moreover communicated in the best of forms, for the pupil is stimulated to procure it himself; and he takes it as the bird takes its food—in the manner and kind best adapted to his genius. This little volume is the production of the lads themselves, and is very creditable to them ; the are indications (we wish for no more) of merit, and the composition and style are far better than those of many ambitious publications. The mere fabrication of such a work in a school must be highly beneficial; it will inspire tastes, and communicate a desire to procure and give information, which will never cease to have influence over future life, till that dread moment when education ceases and trial commences.
