The Empire takes up a subject prominent 'in many of the British periodicals from April to June' - the life and works of Baron Bunsen. The reason for this interest, eight years after Bunsen's death is the publication by the Baron's widow of A Memoir of Baron Bunsen, Late Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary of His Majesty Frederic William IV at the Court of St. James, Drawn Chiefly from Family Papers and also of his final work God in History.
