The Victoria Magazine. Isfo. In. Emily F...
The series of articles on " The Great Actors of 1775 , " nominally "by Mr . Tom Taylorhaving * consisted almost entirely of translations
, ( not his own ) from Liehtenberg , have had small claim to _^ originality ; and the one in the present number , "with its voluptuous
descriptions of actresses distinguished for the charms of their personsis certainly not very edifying * . An admirable paper on " The
Influence , of University Degrees on the Education of Women , " sets forth with great clearness the arguments on both sides of that
important question , and shows how little room there is for rational objection to women partaking more liberally of the educational advantages so freely conceded to the other sex .

For Ever I or the Final and State Co of ., the South Redeemed ampton Considered _E-ow . . John F . Shaw , This work advocatesfrom a Calvinistic Evangelical point of
view , the doctrine of there , being no gradations of bliss in heaven , but perfect equality among all the redeemed . Incidentally , the
question of whether man be superior to woman is also discussed , and having first determined that _" we , as believers _; should admit as
true whatever the Bible declares , " proceeds to show , on these premises" the absurdity of arguing woman ' s inferiority to man on
any ground , but the plain fact of Grod ' s decree as contained in _G-enesis as a punishment for sin . " Undoubtedly the Colenso
controversy is likely to have some bearing on the popular opinion on
the latter subject .

Westminster Mevieiv , l _$ o . xxvii ., July , 1863 . "We would draw the attention of any whom it may concern to
an important article in this Number , on " Marriages of Consanguinity . " This is a subject which sometimes causes terrible doubts
and aching forebodings in young hearts ; while the great probability there usually exists of cousins forming attachments to
each other , is yet oftener a source of great anxiety to parents . In any such cases there can be little doubt that a perusal of the
arguments and evidence here adduced would prove reassuring .

BOOKS OP THE MONTH . Among the books recently publishedparticular reference must be
, made to " The Journal of a _[ Residence on a Georgian Plantation , " "b y Mrs . Kemble . In this remarkable workthe miseries resulting
, from slavery are powerfully brought before the reader . Though written upwards of twenty years ago , the narrative is full of
freshness and vigour . Nothing but the earnest desire to do good in her generation , could have induced Mrs . Kemble to recur to scenes
which , for her own sake , she must desire to forget . But with the pen of no common writershe relates her own experience of slavery
on her husband ' s plantation , , and her fruitless efforts to mitigate
its horrors . At this moment such a book is particularly valuable .
