    We regret that Mrs . Gretton did not visit , or at any rate does not _dessribe , any of fche charitable institutions either at Ancona or Turin .

    Few of tlieni comparatively are visited by our English , tourists , and a description of them , such , as slie could liave givenwould not only

    , have been interesting in itself , but might have tempted other travellers to inquire into the management and working of the

    various homes , hospitals , and refuges of Italy . The task has never been undertaken we believe , and is one which would be especially

    useful for these days of earnest and sometimes rash workers in a good cause . Goodwill , and even common sense _veneed not borrow ,

    but experience "we do need ; and in cases of charity , even the failures , and still ' more the success of othersmay be of almost infinite

    , advantage in saving time , money , and life , so much of which is continually wasted , only to teach us a lesson -which very often our

    neighbours have learned and paid for years ago .
