...Letters from Ralph Waldo Emerson to a Friend" is the title of a book just published by Professor Charles Eliot Norton...
Very different is Edward Richard's tale of the Franco-Prussian War, a straight-forward, vigorous story, with a refreshing roughness about it. "Pursuit," by W.

Not long ago this friend presented him with a book on the fly leaf of which he had written: "To Citizen Black from one of his constituents."
