What makes the matter still more remarkable is, that Mr. Brantingham was an American citizen. The Journal well points out the absurdity of the case; for "the wearing of a boating coat or cap, the use of dishes or jugs stamped with the college crest," would bring the user within the scope of this Act of Parliament. Verily, a free country is America; where people can put on or take off armorial bearings, as they would that particular bearing which goes in student circles by the name of "dog." The debates in the Oxford and Cambridge Unions are sometimes most...

...nature, in consideration of the extreme youth of the writers, to hit at last upon one which talks in a straight-forward, interesting, and instructive manner on subjects which it knows something about.

Not to bestow too much praise on an initial number, we can truly say that if the excellence...
