No. 17.

EDITORIAL.

T the beginning of the volume we announced our intention of bringing out nine numbers instead of eight in the year, if our funds would allow . We regret that we have been unable to carry out our intention in its entirety, but we may remind our readers that two numbers—the August number and the present one—contain four extra pages . We trust that this earnest we have given of our resolve to improve the magazine, as our means permit, will induce our constituency to lend us all the help they can. With regard to the essay on " Evolution " in this number, we wish to say a word . On no account can we in future insert anything which contravenes the rule for the exclusion of religious and political articles we laid down at starting . The fact that the present essay is, in the main, a scientific, and not a theological one, is our only excuse for admitting it . We shall be glad to receive a reply to the paper, but the reply must be confined strictly to the scientific aspect of the question. We may take this opportunity of stating that Mr . S . J . J . S. le Maistre has been appointed Treasurer, and that subscriptions should be sent to him at Keble College, Oxford, or, after Dec. loth, to Everingham Rectory, near York . It will save much trouble if any who wish to discontinue their subscriptions will kindly send him word at once. With the present number is issued, in addition to the four extra pages, title-page and index to the volume.
