The text extols Melville Bay passages and ice scenery, noting long ridges of ice, grinding moan, and the navigational skill needed to reach the North Water. It cites Markham and Nelson, praising the Arctic voyage as an ideal navy discipline and recommends the book for its cultivated mind and literary style.
The four volumes of Pillars of the House are praised for detail and observation but criticized for lack of unity and sprawling cast. The High Church family drama centers on the Underwoods led by the eldest son, with multiple relations and marriages—yet the reader may feel bewildered by shifting focus and excessive minutiae. The reviewer notes Miss Yonge’s fluency and sound judgment on some points, but finds the tale dull, prolix, and uneven despite strong ecclesiastical themes.
The October issue roundup praises Blackwood for vivid historical sketches such as The Parisians and a delightful travel sketch that leads to a love story in A Railway Junction. It notes several pieces including Edgar Wayne's Escape, Republic and Monarchy in France, Vienna's Exhibition Time, and Prince Charlie's Escape. It also comments on Fraser's Irish Orangeism piece and Bonamy Price on Lombard-street, with caution about The Dragon's Head fiction and Cornhill's two notable contributions.
