...political economy department of the college deserves much praise for the care and work displayed in the first number of the Quarterly Journal of Economics. The magazine appears in an attractive form, the type and the size of the pages making the labor of reading as small as possible. All the articles are written with a grasp which betokens a complete understanding of the questions involved, while also they discuss problems that are more interesting to the unprofessional reader than are most of those in the journals of a similar class. For in these latter technical points and little matters...

Original research in historical work has become during the last few years an important factor in the Harvard curriculum, and although the method pursued in History 12 can hardly be dignified by the above name, yet it will no doubt prove a most beneficial course of labor for all who intend to take History 20 in future years.

It is direct, admirably written and picturesque, but it is disconnected. There is lacking something of that "swing" so peculiar to the writer's better work. A translation of the second epode of Horace, by Mr. Isham...
...affirm, and he shakes his head violently as in negation, or he repels when he means to appeal, - or again, he has not learned the value of repose, and he keeps his hands and head going till you are worn out with the very sight of his ineffectual labor to have you seize what he says. These are common faults and are met with constantly, and they are faults that with a little patient practice under competent guidance could have been avoided. Then there are the flagrant errors in pronunciation that we hear on all sides. Indeed, it is said...
