This magazine, uniform with the _Leisure Hour_ in style and general arrangement, is hardly of sufficient artistic interest to need detailed comment here. Started in 1852 it relied, like its companion, on Gilbert and other less important draughtsmen. In the sixties it was affected a little by the movement. In 1863 there is one design by G. J. Pinwell, _The German Band_ (p. 753), several by C. Green, and one probably by Du Maurier (p. 513), who has also six most excellent drawings to _The Artist's Son_ in the number for January, and one each to short stories, _John Henderson_ and _Siller and Gowd_, later in the year. A serial in 1865 and one in 1866 are both illustrated by J. Mahoney; and, in the latter year, W. Small supplies drawings to another story. Beyond a full page, obviously by R. Barnes, there is nothing else peculiarly interesting in 1866; in the 1867 volume F. W. Lawson and Charles Green contribute a good many designs. In 1868 S. L. Fildes has one full page, _St. Bartholomew_ (p. 329), and F. A. F. appears; in 1869 Charles Green is frequently encountered, but the magazine is not a very happy hunting-ground for our purpose. OTHER SERIAL PUBLICATIONS Serial issues of Cassell's _History of England_, the _Family Bible_, and other profusely illustrated works might also repay a close search, but, as a rule, the standard is too ordinary to attract any but an omnivorous collector. Still, men of considerable talent are among the contributors, (Sir) John Gilbert for instance, and others like H. C. Selous, Paolo Priolo, who never fell below a certain level of respectability. _Golden Hours_, a semi-religious monthly, started in 1864 as a penny magazine. In 1868 its price was raised to sixpence, and among its artist-contributors we find M. E. Edwards, R. Barnes, and A. Boyd Houghton (represented once only) with _An Eastern Wedding_ (p. 849). In 1869 Towneley Green, C. O. Murray, and others appear, but the magazine can hardly be ranked as one representative of the period. Nor is it essential to record in detail the mass of illustrations in the penny weeklies and monthlies--to do so were at once impossible and unnecessary; nor the mass of semi-religious periodicals such as _Our Own Fireside_ and _The Parish Magazine_, which rarely contain work that rises above the dull average. THE BOYS' OWN MAGAZINE The art of this once popular magazine may be dismissed very briefly. J. G. Thomson made a lot of designs to _Silas the Conjuror_ and other serials. R. Dudley, a conscientious draughtsman whose speciality was mediæval subjects, illustrated its historical romances with spirit and no little knowledge of archæological details. A. W. Bayes, J. A. Pasquier, and others adorned its pages; but from 1863 to its death it contains nothing interesting except to a very rabid collector. EVERY BOY'S MAGAZINE
