...George Eliot by 'Agatha.' Charles Reade's first draft of 'The Box Tunnel' is accompanied by two letters, expressing his appreciation of the fact that the Boston firm had 'taken up an author on your own judgment instead of waiting until sixteen old women had waited for some echo and echoed it and called it their verdict.' Emerson is represented by 'The Titmouse' and also by the loose and printer-thumbed sheets of an article hurriedly written in the hours following the arrival of the news of the Emancipation Proclamation...
...prose the number stands redeemed from commonplace by two mystical allegories of Paulding--not sufficiently dissimilar for one number--and Dos Pasasas's "Orientale," a clever, and entertaining story. Angels, however, is a singularly unsophisticated widow. Whittlesey in "The Old Order Changeth," seems an echo from last year, simply human and realistic--not of the order of The Smart Set.

Occasionally the choice of words might be happier, as in the line "The whistles of the harbor craft ring out." Infelicities are rare, however, and there are often very good lines...
...seating capacity of the hall is 576, 472 of these seats being on the main floor of the auditorium and 104 in the balcony, which is an extension of the third floor. Directly in back of the balcony is a box-like construction for the purpose of absorbing the echo. The ladies waiting and cloak rooms are also on the second floor leading off from the foyer. On the third floor there is a third foyer and off from this are two conference rooms and the music library room, where all the music reference books are to be kept...
