Literacy Mems. —M. Paul Meyer, chief editor of the “ Revue Critique,” is now in England, examining French and other manuscripts in London, Oxford and Cambridge. He proposes to establish a quarterly journal for Early French and English Literature. The members of the Boys’ Home Industrial School, Regent's Park Road, have started a novel publication, called “ The Boys’ Budget,” in order to serve as a medium of communication between old boys who have left, and have either emigrated, gone to sea, or are employed in places of business at home. The first number gives an interesting sketch ol the birth and growth of this veritable “ Home for the Homeless,” and an account of the masters, matrons, and other teachers who have been connected with it. Mr Archibald Forbes, who was the special military correspondent for the “ Daily News” in the late war, is about to publish, through Messrs Hurst and Blackett, his “Experiences of the War in France and Germany.” This work will contain the author’s personal adventures from the beginning to the close of the contest.
