    and waging battle on the very spot from which he looted down on Suakin . The instalment of * Literary Kecollections' this month gives us some

    of the writer ' s experiences of Edinburgh , in which I his remarks on the brothers Robert and Wiiliam Chambers are likely to attract considerable

    attention . Of William Chambers he writes severely : ' He was in no sense a man of letters ; his style was w w vpw pp . ^ bald ¦ « ^* PF .

    but because he had started the " Journal" he attributed its subsequent success to himself , though it was owed (? owing ) to his brother . ' It

    is a curious coincidence that the writer should proceed to express his conviction that Robert Chambers -was the author of the Vestiges of

    Creation / a point set at rest—as we have shown in our notice of the new edition of the book in another column—by the recent announcement of

    Mr . Ireland . Among the other contents of the ' Cornhill' "we have an interesting article , on * The Capital of the Mikados , ' a readable little bit of fiction
