...number begins with a short sketch of the life of the late Alexander Johnston, who from 1884 to his death filled the chair of Jurisprudence and Political Economy at Princeton. The article does full justice to Professor Johnston's merits, and in a few pages it gives the reader an excellent idea of Professor Johnston's work. Professor A. L. Frothingham, jr., has contributed three admirable articles on art topics the "Introduction of Architecture into Italy," "An early Christian Rock-cut church at Sutri," and "An Architectural Tour in Central Italy." "The Cruise of the Grampus" by Professor William Libbey...
GENTLEMEN-Will you kindly inform a graduate, former editor, lover of foot ball, and present reader of your paper, what ground you have for the assertion you make in your issue of the 26th inst., that "for years it (a dual league) has been talked of and considered the final solution of all difficulties? " Has not this talk been confined to Harvard, and if so is it not worse than useless? Yale has complete control in the matter, as she is wanted by all parties.

"The Adventures of an Evening" is a curious bit of fancy; although well told, somehow or other is unsatisfactory, perhaps because the reader does not know what the pretty young woman said in a low tone. "The Death and Spoiling of Tiresias" it is a story from Thebeau history; as a story it recommends itself to the reader, but the style is rather heavy. "The Siege of Xavier de Chateaufort...
...article on "The French in Canada" by E. G. Scott gives the reader an excellent idea of the weakness of the French colony in Canada, and of the impossibility of its existence after the French "bayonets" had been withdrawn. "The First Mayor" by Octave Thanet, is an interesting story of the paper-money craze. "Some Romances of the Revolution" by Edward T. Hayward is an excellent study of William Gilmore Simmes' six novels on the revolutionary period. The other articles of the number are up to the usual high standard of the Monthly, the one entitled "Materials for Landscape...
