The St. Stephen's Chronicle. A Weekly Chronicle of Politics, and
con- taining Full and Accurate Reports of Proceedings in Parliament. Nos. 1, 2, and 3. (Richard Bentley.)—The weekly issue of the previous week's debates in a substantial pamphlet is an exceedingly good idea, which ought to he a successful one. Literary men and politicians who cannot subscribe to Hansard,—indeed Hansard comes out rather late for use, as well as being rather expensive,—will keep it as a book of reference. But Mr. Bentley must improve the actual form of the Chronicle. The quotations from newspapers at the beginning, are quite useless, and a great waste of space. The Parliamentary chronicle should be headed with a running title, indicating the day of the week and the subject of debate, for more easy reference. And the reports should be fuller. If we are not mistaken, oven the Times' report has been, in many cases, very much abbreviated.
