The piece extols a generous music critic who valued merit in fellow composers and rejected envy. It argues critics should praise genuine art, critique faults, and offer remedies, noting timeless lessons from Beethoven and Gyrowetz, and the dangers of vanity without enthusiasm.
The book reviews Lady Barker’s travel diaries in South Africa. It praises engaging anecdotes and vivid impressions while noting digressions and heavy personal reflections that slow the narrative. Readers, especially women, may find it readable and entertaining despite repetitive style.
The September issue highlights Professor Seeley on Prussian history and Hardenberg memoirs, arguing Napoleonic victories pale beside Germany's moral gains. It reviews Mrs. Oliphant, Mr. Wallace on Colours of Animals and Plants, and German Society Forty Years Since with tales of second sight, including a Saxon princess. It also notes notices on Erskine of Linlathen, Campbell of Row, A J Scott, Alexander Scott, and Tramps and Pedestrians, plus Blackwood’s critique of Burial Laws and Lord Harrowby’s Lords votes.
The reviewer praises the book for its poetic scenes of a cliffside waterfall and twilight beauty though notes its engravings by Lady Barker are unfinished. It offers a good pastime for a vacant hour and highlights nine pen and ink pieces with characters titled Tom Sir Garnet and Kaffir Dandy.
