A critical review discusses proposals for local government reform urging central supervision, qualified health officers and inspectors, and the rise of parish and municipal structures. It praises the essays for wit and charity, noting melancholy undertones but hopeful aims to aid poorer populations.
A critical review discusses From the Plough to the Pulpit by Luke Wesley Church likely incorrect author, tracing a hero from Wesleyan school to Cambridge and church orders. It contrasts with Jessie Trim by B L Fanseon, calling characters dull and events jerky, while noting life like sketches of Wesleyans and university life.
The review praises two works with vivid character drawings. Anthony Bullpit and Turk West anchor Farjeon’s piece, while Mrs. Chris’s mother falters and the governess narration shines in Sheldon’s Woman’s a Riddle. Sir Gervase Warmstrey dominates the latter with a moral arc echoing Middlemarch themes.
A critical note praises Mr. Jacox's volume on Scripture Proverbs as a refined compilation that reads like original reflection. It lauds his selection and linking of sources, the gentle, practical wisdom, and chapters such as The Sure Side of Suretyship and Kindness to Animals as valuable for students and thoughtful readers.
A concise notice promoting the book Scripture Proverbs Illustrated Annotated and Applied by Francis Jacox author of Traits of Character Hodder and Stoughton.
The article discusses limits of large bodies in governance and charity, citing Johnsons dictionary work, Emigration Board failures, and Beattie versus Coleridge in disputed verses. It highlights how dense committees hinder action, with quotes from Helps and Spencer. Beattie’s authorship date debate is weighed, noting Hartley Coleridge's longer life alters priority.
A review of Alcofribas's The Fantastic History of the Celebrated Pierrot translated by Alfred Assoluant and rendered into English by A. G. Munro with over 100 Yan Dargent illustrations. It likens the tale to a French Gulliver and Lilliputians with an eastern Chino Tartar atmosphere and praises action though notes art value may suffer.
