THAT the authors of the neat pamphlet now before us should have refrained from making public their names certainly shows commendable modesty. Nevertheless we cannot help regretting that writers who are evidently destined to make their mark in the field of literature should have felt this hesitation. The mantle of the Rev. Edwin Abbott - name dear to Sophomores - has certainly fallen upon these gentlemen; its voluminous folds, however, do not entirely conceal them. Perhaps they anticipated...
