The illustrations on the whole are very spirited."—Standard. "Le Journal de la Jeunesse' (Hachette and Co.) is a very copiously illustrated weekly magazine for young folk, which divides its yearly issue into two handsomely bound volumes. The French estimate of the tastes and inclinations of young readers, as shown by the character of the articles, does not differ from that of English editors of similar publications. The smaller pictures interwoven with the text frequently display force and humour.

Elle se distingue uniquement en ceci, et cette distinction est sa raison d'être, qu'elle veut traiter les questions du jour, questions morales, sociales, religieuses, celles-là, certes, de tout temps et plus que jamais aujourd'hui à l'ordre du jour, au point de vue chrétien. Dans toutes les questions du jour, morales, sociales, même littéraires et d'art, tandis que de plus en plus, on le sent bien, les paroles dites sont vides, paroles de néant, nous voudrions donner la parole à celui qui a les paroles de vie. Cette Revue ne professe pas dans l'abstrait, n'endoctrine pas ex cathedra: c'est une revue laïque pour les laïques; on essaie de présenter au libre examen la solution chrétienne à mesure que les questions se posent devant l'opinion publique et que les solutions cléricales ou libres-penseuses se proposent, faute de pouvoir s'imposer. En même temps qu'on dit ce qui apparaît comme le mot de la vie, on essaie de faire prendre au lecteur conscience de l'esprit du monde présent; on note et on débrouille autant que possible le mouvement des idées, dans les mœurs, les institutions, la presse, les œuvres sociales religieuses ou anti-religieuses, agnostiques-tout particulièrement sous des rubriques fixes: le Livre, les Idées du Jour, Chronique du mois, Sur le Vif, Notes et Documents, et plus d'une fois nos expositions ont paru si exactes que les journaux catholiques ou libres-penseurs en ont donné de larges extraits. ENGLISH LANGUAGE. THE INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH GRAMMAR for Candidates preparing for the University Locals, Preliminary Examinations in Medicine, &c., and for Pupil Teachers. By CHARLES HART, B.A., For nineteen years English Master at St. Cuthbert's Grammar School, Newcastle-on-Tyne. 242 pages. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 2s. 6d. "A remarkably well-arranged text-book, covering all the ground that a grammar school boy of 16 or 17 may reasonably be expected to traverse. It contains a short but clear and useful sketch of the history of our tongue, an unusually good exposition of accidence, syntax and analysis, some practical hints on punctuation and spelling, a list of common words that may belong to different parts of speech, a useful chapter on the use of special prepositions after certain words, sections on and formation and foreign roots, and a brief but workmanlike chapter on prosody and figures of speech. Mr. Hart has made no attempt at originality, but he has carefully read and pondered the books of other grammarians, and his 19 years of teaching have shown him how to select what is of practical value from the works, and to present it in a clear and concise way. The book is not without blemishes-no English grammar yet published can claim that distinctionbut it is distinctly the most satisfactory general grammar for intermediate pupils that we are acquainted with, and the faults may almost be counted on the fingers of one hand. We heartily commend the work to the attention of all masters of middle and higher schools, and particularly to those who prepare candidates for the London Matriculation and similar examinations whose syllabus it practically covers."-The Guardian. "The production of a man who has at once wisdom and experience, who knows not only what subjects have to be treated in an English Grammar, but also in what light these subjects ought to be presented. This latter ability Mr. Hart has acquired by constant observant teaching for more than twenty years, not only in class with schoolboys, but in private with foreigners of various nationalities. We feel sure that Mr. Hart's grammar will prove a boon to pupil teachers preparing for the King's Scholarship Examination, and for boys and girls preparing for the Locals or other examinations. We should strongly recommend head masters to furnish themselves with a sample copy."-Teachers' Aid. For many years, the author has had among his pupils, foreigners of many nationalities--French, German, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian, and Japanese. The many difficulties encountered by them in their study of English have been carefully noted, and explained with copious examples. Foreign students will find the Sections on "Shall and Will," "The Relations indicated by Prepositions," and "The Idiomatic Use of Prepositions," of especial value.
