OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"A feature in this magazine are the political sketches by Mr. Ritchie. This month we have Lord John Russell photographed from the life. The amount of readable matter which is interspersed with the engravings is far beyond the proportion which might be expected in a periodical of the peculiar description of the National,' which exhibits practised editorial skill."-Illustrated London News.

"The National Magazine' contains a great variety of light and amusing articles--so many, indeed, that we can only find room to advert to some of the most prominent."-Morning Star.

"The National Magazine' contains good biographical articles on Lord John Russell and the Rev, Charles Kingsley."-Literary Gazette.

[ocr errors]

"This comes fairly under the denomination of a Christmas number, and both letter-press and illustrations claim praise. The Burial of Harold' is a fine specimen of wood-engraving, and in other respects the part is almost all that can be wished."-Weekly Dispatch.

"Mr. Ritchie is improving the National Magazine,' not only by the vigour and ability of his own articles, but by the more careful attention which is paid to the details-literary, artistic, and mechanical-of the publi cation."-Sunday Times.

"The National Magazine' for the present month contains a number of short and very readable papers, We consider it at least equal to its competitor, Once a Week,' both as a pictorial and literary work. Among other papers that we have read with considerable interest is the graphic pulpit of the Rev. C. Kingsley."-Critic.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

"Meliora' is rightly named, and is likely to be, according to its promise, 'a first-class review.' ”— Eclectic Review.

"The One Shilling Quarterly, second to no contemporary in grasp of thought, vigour of writing, or perfectness in the knowledge which it brings to bear on social, political, and economical questions, now stands before the world as one of the facts which the advance of the age has brought to realisation."Atlas.

"This new quarterly is evidently in the hands of persons of extensive observation, of considerable ability, and of benevolent intentions. Though it ranks amongst the cheap publications of the age, it is not inferior, in literary merit and valuable information, to similar works of far higher pretensions. It sceks not to charm by verbal descriptions of things as they should be, but to instruct by faithful representations of things as they are. It is replete with social, historic, and scientific facts, not conveyed in dry forms, but with enlightened and philanthropic views of the several theories propounded, or in operation, for the improvement of the social and moral condition of the community."-British Banner. "The appearance of this review justifies its name. It speaks Meliora 'better things' for the prospects of social science, when its promoters can publish a work of this size and value for a shilling."The Inquirer.

This journal derives its inspiration from a class of the community who are honestly and energetically labouring for the social improvement of our race, especially in one department of social morals. We honour them for the purity of their motives, the ardour of their zeal, and their self-denying efforts. Their journal is worthy of their object, and admirably fitted, instrumentally, to accomplish it.-Lady's Newspaper.
