...food at Memorial has lately grown steadily worse and worse; at present it is nearly unbearable, and as "man cannot live by bread alone" he must either leave Commons or cease to live. The late dinners have proved very popular, and during October the fare was passable, but it is now so wretched that some change is needed, and the sooner it is made the better. We refer our readers to a very carefully written article on this subject, and we fully agree with the sentiments it expresses...
THIS book has been so popular in the past that comment on its general usefulness would be superfluous. It is only necessary to say that its usefulness is much increased in this new edition. The book now seems to be so complete as to meet every requirement in its way. Many a dispute has been settled and many an author studied heretofore, with its aid.

I might refer to one entitled "An Oriental Lesson," in a Sunday Herald of recent date. Its stand on the currency question is certainly of the soundest...
