ENCOURAGED by the success of his first attempt, "Harvard and its Surroundings," Mr. King has extended the field of his operations to the neighboring metropolis, and has produced a handbook of Boston.

Recitations are not really voluntary so long as there is a penalty of any sort for absence, and when an instructor, after finding a man absent for several recitations, sends him a notice that he is not likely to get through the course unless his attendance improves...
