...Atlantic to discuss the questions of the day. "The Future of the Country College," by President Hyde of Bowdoin is a masterly treatment of a subject which interests not only college men, but all people interested in higher education. Miss Murfree ends in this number her remarkable story "The Despot of Broomsedge Cove." Those who have followed it through the year can testify to its excellence. Mr. Hardy contributes the eleventh and twelfth chapters of "Passe Rose." Two articles, "Urbs Animae" and "A Flight in the Dark," signed only with initials, have an added zest from the mystery attaching. Louise...
...Atlantic Monthly for November is an exceptionally good number. The great variety of subjects treated makes the magazine acceptable to every taste. The serials are "Passe Rose," by A. S. Hardy; and "The Despot of Broomsedge Cove," by Miss Murfree. Mr. Downes' fifth paper on "Boston Painters and Paintings," also appears. There is not an article which does not have some merit, but of the deepest interest to us, are papers on two of the living questions of the day, factory life, and economy in college work. In the paper on factory life, the writer gives an account...
...June number of the Atlantic Monthly is as bright and interesting as usual.

R. Dorr, is a vivid description of that interesting place. Theodore Child contributes "The Literary Career in France," a paper which is well worth reading. "The Discovery of the Rocky Mountains." by Francis Parkman, is not only instructive but possesses the charm of the other writings of that able historian. Perhaps...
...CRIMSON has just received the May number of the Atlantic Monthly. The new issue is remarkable for not containing a single bit of verse. The articles continued from the former number are "The Aspern Papers," by Henry James; "Yone Santo," by E. H. House, and "The Despot of Broomsedge Cove," by Charles Egbert Craddock. Mr. Cook concludes here his papers on the marriage celebration with "Reform in the Celebration of Marriage...
...April number of the Atlantic Monthly appeared early this week. The stories continued from March are "Yone Santo," by E. H. House; "The Aspern Papers," by Henry James, and "The Despot of Broomsedge Cove," by Charles Egbert Craddock. A paper on "English Faith in Art," by Miss Pennell, questions whether a revival in art is not accompanied by a decline in religious feeling. To students of the fine arts this subject will be of great interest. Mr. Lowell contributes a poem, "Turner's Old Temeraire." An article on Lasalle, the Socialist, by D. O. Kellogg, is an interesting description...
