0, Mr. Couling brings the year's issue to a successful end. It was a bold step to begin such a magazine, and we are glad to learn that the support given in the first year justifies the editor in continuing the publication.
The number before us has two in. stalments of previous articles, Mr. Hutson's interesting "Chinese Life on the Tibetan Foothills," and R. P. Doré's "Grand Pélérinage" (in French). It has also a long paper, which will be read with special interest by missionaries, on a "Bud-diiist Apologetic," by the Rev. H. K. Wright—a study of a well known defence of Buddhism written ju the reign of Kang Hsi. The style of the paper is somewhat heavy, but no students of Comparative Religion will fail to be interested jin it. There is a new departure in three poems, reproductions, not translations, of Chinese legends, including; the well known Land of Peach Bloom story. These are by the Rev. T. Gaunt, who, if he is not a poet, can write very easy and readable verse. There is also a further study in Chinese Psychology by Dr. Chatley, and the rest of the number is taken up with Notes and Queries, and Reviews. The illustrations are two plates, which may be joined to. gether, being portions of a Chinese picture by Li Sheng of the 10th century.
