...Atlantic Monthly for March is fully up to the standard of the recent numbers in the variety and interest of its articles. The serials, "Passe Rose," by A. S. Hardy, and "The Tragic Muse," by Henry James, fully sustain the interest of their first chapters. American history occupies a large share of the number. John Fiske contributes a paper on "Ticonderoga, Bennington and Oriskany," and Frank G. Cook, one on "Some Colonial Lawyers and their Work." Treating in more recent events is an article entitled "Personal Reminisences of William H. Seward," by his private secretary, Samuel J. Barrows...
...number because of the variety and interest of its articles. Of the serials, "Passe Rose" by A. S. Hardy, fully keeps up the interest of the earlier chapters.

...Advocate is ready to-day. Peruthanhs the opening verse of the number is delicate, but not well rounded. Of the prose contributions, the charming little sketch, "Where the Muse Abideth," is perhaps the best, it is followed by another sketch, "An Unpleasant Reminiscence," which is decidedly disappointing. As to the two stories, "Right or Wrong?" and "Violin," the former is a peculiar but not unlikely tale well brought out, the latter is a vivid piece of writing rather packing in moral tone. A story with a moral tacked on the end is usually tiresome, a story like "Violin" without...
