...appeal for money for Park College the following sentiments appear: "Park College wants the raw materials with which to rebuild its recently burnt building-the boys will do the work.

The one understands the "Oxford stroke," the other the business stroke. The one will stop on a strand.

The authors were ranked by the number of votes each received and the first forty would be considered as the "Immortals" of England, if the scheme was carried out. But it must be remembered that this journal appeals mainly to the great middle-class of England, and though no doubt well educated, yet its literary taste or judgment is not of the highest. Mr. George McDonald, Mr. Smiles, Mr. Justin McCarthy are among the forty. However "Lord" Tennyson heads the list with 501 votes. His chief work...
