...Committee on the Institute Catalogue, after a great deal of work, have succeeded in getting everything ready for publication, but probably nothing will be done this year...
...words with the action of the player can hardly fail to detract somewhat from the spectator's pleasure. But, pantomime and all, Salvini's Hamlet interests and pleases. Throughout it recalls Booth much more than Fechter, to our mind. In the scene where the ghost first appears, a great deal of the acting seems strangely familiar, and elsewhere throughout the play the likeness is striking.

We give a great deal of time, and wisely, to the languages, as a means of cultivating our analytical powers, and to mathematics and philosophy, to strengthen our reasoning faculties; but while so much of our attention is devoted to those pure sciences whose good results are to be sought for in the mind itself, and not in the subject...
