...April issue, the Century caters to a wide variety of tastes, and its table of contents reveals several names new to magazine readers. To the average college man, perhaps the most interesting article is "The Wordsworths and De Quincey," a paper of literary biography containing unpublished letters of the poet and the opium-eater: one of Wordsworth's to the young De Quincey is particularly worthy of attention as containing excellent advice to youth, advice which he gives in simplicity and tender apprehension, as one lover of nature and virtue speaking to another, advice which is applicable quite as much...
