The illustrations are to be after original drawings from the well qualified pencil of Mr . T . Tindall Wildridge , Hon . Secretary to the Hull Art Clubwho will also furnish the elucidatory letterpress . The work is to be

The serial stories b y the editor , Miss Helen Mathers , and Dr . William Howard Russell , increase in interest as the narratives proceed , and all the miscellaneous papers are bright
and readable . An article by Dr . Milner Fothergill , sketching an imaginary picture of the dietary of A . D . 2000 , is at first sight amusing , but has a value beyond the entertainment it thus affords , in that it points to the clangers with which the vagaries of fashion at the dining-table are attended . There is also an exquisite little poem by George Barlow . The second number of Mr . Edward Walford ' s Antiquarian Magazine and
Bibliographer sustains the favourable estimate we formed of the initial issue , and contains several valuable contributions from pens of competent writers . An article on the Barony of Arklow , in Ireland , by Lord James Wandesford-Butler , has special interest , in that the title has recentl y been conferred upon Bro . H . R . H . Prince Leopold . The rest of the contents of the February part of this meritorious magazine are all of great interest and enduring value . Mr .
