...course it is only the less important features of the book that we have criticised. We doubt whether it will accomplish its apparent object of convincing unbelievers in co-education, who, by the by, must not be undeservedly confounded with unbelievers in equal education; but it will certainly furnish pleasant and light reading to anybody who takes it up; and we are happy to state that the author's English is far better than her French...

As for us, we have a library at Harvard where the students can have access to very much better articles on historical, philosophical, and scientific subjects than we could furnish, and the instructors in themes and forensics have kindly relieved us of the necessity of training the students in the art of composition. In the case of a paper published at a college where little or no attention is given to athletics, it would be unwise to devote any considerable...
