...long list of signatures as the most precious collection of autographs I could leave to my descendants. No doubt many of the names will one day have the same price in the eyes of the world as now in mine-but they can never suffuse them so pleasantly.

To all who pretend to have any knowledge of American history, and especially to students in the courses in history in Harvard College. this magazine is an imperative necessity. It is only necessary to look over one number to see how valuable it is and to realize what a mistake is made in neglecting to use it.
