The Review of Reviews.

Everyone who desires to keep in touch .with the doings of the world must, and do, take the Review of Reviews. To every journalist its pages are of great value and to business men the abbreviated notices of the magazines saves a lot of trouble. When an article appeals to them they obtain the magazine the article appears in and thus obtain it in full, but the Review of Reviews helps those in a hurry, and who are not in these days ? to get what they want with the least trouble. The Australian edition contains a large amount of interesting matter concerning our cousins over the water, and thus tends to keep us in touch with one another, as contributions from leading New Zealand statesmen, find publication in it. In the August number cricket is well represented, the account of " how we lost the second test match," being ably written by Mr C. B. Fry, and well illustrated. The third test match is written by the captain of the English eleven. " The Influence of Climate on Character," by the Rev. R. Waddell, brings forth a theme of praise of this colony, the writer declaring that " the facts are that Maoriland has one of the most favourable temperatures in the world for the developement of character? Mr W. T. Stead's character sketch of Sir Alfred Milner comes at a critical juncture, and helps the reader to form an opinion of one upon whom has been cast the dreadful responsibility of peace or war in the Transvaal. Mr Stead contributes three other articles "At the Hague," "The Martyrdom of an Empress," and " The Transvaal." A very interesting paper is " What an Australian sees in London," written by the Rev. W. H. Fitchett in the London Spectator. To our mind, knowing London well thirty years ago, the writer has succeeded in conveying his impressions of the peculiar aspect of the architectural size of London, which is, and was patchy, magnificent buildings standing in front of the lowest slums ; and also of the seething, whirling, rushing crowd of pedestrians and vehicles that are always on the move in the streets of the main arteries of the metropolis. The Review of Reviews keeps its good name up in all the other matter condensed into this number. _
