Mothers in Council. Edited by Charlotte M. Yonge. (Wells Gardner,

Darton, and Co.)—This is the third annual volume of an excellent magazine, full of sound, practical wisdom, often ex- pressed with admirable terseness and force. Some little dialogues, illustrating "the vain pomp and glory of the world and the covetous desires of the same" (pp. 32-38), are an excellent instance. "A Study," concerning a mother's management of a child, is another. "Management," we call it, but the term is most inadequate to the great effort there described. Mothers in Council is clearly a periodical to be supported.
