We have to acknowledge the third number of the China Review, which fully maintains the character established by its predecessors. The paper on "the Emigration Convention of 1866," begun in the last number, is concluded. A sketch of the history of Hongkong, which formed part of a lecture delivered last year by Mr. Legge, in the City Hall, has been fittingly preserved in the Review. Mr. Eakins contributes an article on "Chinese Philology and Mr. Watters some interesting "Notes on Chinese Mahometan Liperature." Mr. McClatchie writes on the "Symbols of the Yik-king," and Dr, Kerr on Chinese Medicine." The number comprises several other minor papers, and concludes with sundry "Notes and Queries? which form by no means the least interesting feature in the Review. We all remember the little pamphlet, under this title, which Mr. Dennys used to publish separately some years ago, and we trust he will succeed in" keeping" up the pages of the Review devoted to these odds and ends of information, as successfully as he edited that brochure.
