PICTORIAL MAGAZINE. New Volume, 7s. 6d. Five-and-twenty years ago the Fireside Magazine made its first appearance on the literary stage, its rôle being to supply "articles on common home subjects written with a decidedly Christian tone," and nobly has it sustained the part. The high-class illustrations add greatly to its attractions; the three serials, by such well-known writers as Emma Marshall, Agnes Giberne, and the Rev. T. Millington, will appeal to the lovers of pure fiction; while it will be strange indeed if, amid the varied store of solid matter, articles cannot be found to interest readers of every age and taste. Biography, travels, poetry, anecdotes, sermons, essays on matters religious and secular, and theoretical, all find their place in the pages of the Fireside Pictorial Magazine.'-ROCK. 1d. Monthly.
