"Meliora' is rightly named, and is likely to be, according to its promise, a first-class review.'”— Eclectic Review. "The One Shilling Quarterly, second to no contemporary in grasp of thought, vigour of writing, or perfectness in the knowledge which it brings to bear on social, politieal, and economical questions, now stands before the world as one of the facts which the advance of the age has brought to realisation."— Atlas. "This new quarterly is evidently in the hands of persons of extensive observation, of considerable ability, and of benevolent intentions. Though it ranks amongst the cheap publications of the age, it is not inferior, in literary merit and valuable information, to similar works of far higher pretensions, seeks not to charm by verbal descriptions of things as they should be, but to instruct by faithful repre sentations of things as they are. It is replete with social, historic, and scientific facts, not conveyed in dry forms, but with enlightened and philanthropic views of the several theories propounded, or in operation, for the improvement of the social and moral condition of the community."-British Banner. "The appearance of this review justifies its name, It speaks Meliora better things' for the prospects of social science, when its promoters can publish a work of this size and value for a shilling."
