...longest and most notable prose piece in the July number of the Monthly is "Leaf, Somebody's Son" by A. Calvert Smith. The author makes ingenious use of the small boy's point of view to relate a fragment of the Saga of Eric the Red.

...annual report of the director of the Fogg Art Museum, enumerating recent additions, states that the collection of classical antiquities has been enriched by a fragment of a fourth century Greek marble head in the style of Scopas, a gift of E.

Whether dialect writing is of any philological value may well be questioned; that the reading of dialect is tiresome to a degree is certain. The same amount of labor and skill wasted upon such productions would be better bestowed on efforts to acquire mastery of a true English style and in developing powers...
