...Richard B. Kimball (who is he?) vouch for the authenticity of this work, in the Preface which accompanies it, we should be inclined to doubt the truth of this description of West-Indian life, as well as the reality of the Settler. But whether Mr. R. B. K. and the Settler are one and the same person, or merely intimate friends, and whether the Settler ever settled in Santo Domingo or not, are unimportant questions, since the book is at all events an entertaining...
...Anvil has, however, made its appearance, and we may say, has come out strong, for it growls and shows its teeth at Amherst and Harvard in a most savage manner. Its scathing criticism on an account of the Boating Convention in our last issue had for its object, no doubt, the utter annihilation of the Magenta.

We are sorry to see the matter so indisputably settled. How have our idols fallen! Before reading The Student, we had always regarded Dickens as quite a good author, - brilliant, interesting, and instructive. But no, it can't be so; for "Dickens's life was spent chiefly...
...supposing that imagination is common sense turned inside out, instead of common sense sublimed. The writers of this style of poetry have been so well and so often satirized that one can hardly speak of them without trespassing upon ground already occupied; but, to distinguish them beyond a doubt, it may be said that, of this school, William Morris, perhaps, stands upon the highest round of the ladder of respectability, and Walt Whitman upon the lowest...
