The Century Magazine, November, 1896—April, 1897. (Macmillan and Co.)—It is

scarcely necessary to do more than mention the half-yearly volume of this magazine. The Civil War still claims its share, for we have "Why the Confederacy Failed," witl various comments, and a series of papers on "Campaigning wits Grant." Dr. Munger writes a highly favourable notice of "Ian Maclaren's" "Mind of the Master," a book which has brought its writer, Dr. Watson, under suspicion of heresy.—We have also received Sunday Hours for Boys and Girls, a new candidate for popular favour.
