Roberts Brothers, Boston, have just published a delightful book by William Morton Fullerton called "Patriotism and Science." The book will be interesting to Harvard men because of the intimate relation of the author to undergraduate literature while he was in college. Mr. Fullerton graduated in '86. During his course he took an active interest in writing and he with a circle of friends who have been heard from in literary matters since their college days, founded the Harvard Monthly. The book "Patriotism and Science" contains three papers entitled respectively "On a Certain Danger in Patriotism," "English and Americans," and "Democracy...
...encouragement of Coleridge that brought out his first poems, and in the company of Coleridge much of his earlier poetry was written.

A very interesting article is "American Society in Paris" by Mary Ford...
...profusely illustrated with pictures of the college in 1850 and with portraits of Phillips Brooks and many of his classmates. "The City of Seattle" by John W. Pratt is an interesting description of the development of the city. Walter G. Richardson, Ensign in the U. S. Navy. is the author of an article called "Life and Study at the Naval Academy." It is a short account of every day life at the Academy, written in an entertaining style and interesting throughout. The pictures are even better than those of the preceding articles. "Pletro Mascagni" is a short biographical sketch...
...well and succeed in holding the reader's attention, but the endings of the first and last are very weak while the ending of "Javente" is worse than weak. It is unnecessary, not justified by the rest of the sorry, and the conception is certainly no credit to the author. "The Mellow Drama of Love" is something unique. Without entering into a detailed criticism of it, we can only say that we cannot sympathize with the author who names his heroines Miss Toon and Miss Motive...
