W. H. Fitchett begins a study 'Among the Mutiny Cities of India' with memories of Delhi. He has already written on the Mutiny, and has a gift for vivid presentation of historic scenes and events. Mr. E. V. Lucas in My Cousin the Bookbinder' imagines Lamb's cousin talking concerning Lamb with a sort of solid half-appreciation, praising Mary Lamb most of all, and introducing various events familiar to us in Elia's view of them. The cousin finds Gray's Elegy' beautifully clear and simple, which rather surprises us, for some of it is obscure, if not difficult. But perhaps he did not go deep into its meaning, and said it over like a creed, like the "professionizing moral men " of "Ionica.' Canon Barnett has an excellent and open-minded article on The Recreation of the People,' founded on his long experience of East London. He says that on the football fields or the race-courses the crowd of spectators is often 100,000 to 200,000 persons. As regards attendance at football matches this is a gross exaggeration. The Final Tie of the Association Cup, the most frequented event of all, has only exceeded 100,000 on the occasion when a Southern team was playing, and naturally attracted their supporters to the Crystal Palace. The present reviewer knows such crowds well, and thinks that the Canon hardly gives them sufficient credit for expert knowledge of, and keen interest in, the game. tenance of the whole. There is an account of the church of All Saints. Notes on Church Plate in the Diocese of London,' by Mr. Edwin Freshfield, jun., and Bulstrode,' by Mr. W. H. Wadham Powell, are interesting continuations of articles. Round Rochester with Dickens,' by Mr. E. Basil Lupton, deals with a familiar subject in rather a jejune style. We are much better pleased with well-illustrated articles on The Globe Play-House' and Early Churches in South Essex. The editor's 'Chronicle of Paul's Cross' has reached the period 1520-31, and introduces the great figures of Luther and Erasmus. Chancellor's Court at Cambridge (1501-1765), with a THE Calendar of Wills proved in the Vicelist of the Vice-Chancellors for that period, will shortly be issued by Mr. H. Roberts, of 2, Free School Lane, Cambridge. These wills are of much interest, as they contain those of such men as Lowndes and Wren, also of many of the famous printers and bookbinders during that period. There will be two editions, and eighteen largepaper copies with notes. Notices to Correspondents. In A Grammarian's Wedding' F. S. has a somewhat heavy parody of Browning, in which one of a class of pupils speaks of the marriage of their master to a girl-pupil. Common Latin phrases are explained in foot-notes, a sign of the degeneracy of the times. We should have thought that the clients of The Cornhill could translate "Omnia vincit" and "vicit Amor" without help. Major Munn in 'Outlaws of Yesterday' has a very interesting article about the new feeling of the Boers towards their old English foes. He finds merit in the fighters on both sides an attitude which is now commoner than it was, and ought to have been possible earlier in this country. Mr. H. G. Hutchinson in The Footprint on the Sand' deals with sport and Devon men, which means that he is at his best. Sir Clements R. Markham has a pleasing paper on 'The Personality of Edward VI.,' and finds in his youthful journal remarkable powers which might well haye blossomed into great kingship. The Christchurchman's Lament is a really clever parody of Matthew Arnold's Oxford poem, in which R. A. K. dwells on the disturbing influence of the Pageant. The indefatigable Mr. A. C. Benson begins a new causerie entitled 'At Large,' in which he explains how he bought a remote house in the fens near Ely. Mr. Benson's introspective literature is beginning to pall upon us, we get so much of it. He feels that " we are put into the world......to BE rather than to do. But "being" in this case seems to mean a fever for G. M. H.

The Home Counties Magazine for July contains, as usual, much of interest to the Londoner who likes to go a short way outside the bricks and mortar. Mr. S. M. Kirkman in 'Notes on Carshalton, Surrey,' deals with a spot still largely unspoilt. It is noted that Ruskin had a pretty spring known as Lady Margaret's Pool properly We beg leave to state that we decline to return cleaned at his own expense, the banks being laid communications which, for any reason, we do not out, and 3007. invested to provide for the main-print, and to this rule we can make no exception.
