...Monthly for May just published contains only three articles but these three are all of them unusually good. The first and best of them is a sketch and study of the work of Dr. Peabody and of the circumstances under which his great work was done. It is written by Professor C. C. Everett who was fortunate enough to be here while the chief part of Dr. Peabody's work was done. To most of us. Doctor Peabody is hardly more than a name, but before our time he was to eighteen classes during their whole course more than...
...Scribner for June opens with "Life in a Logging Camp" by Arthur Hill. It is a very interesting sketch of camp life in Michigan, describing the finding and filling of the forest giants.

Mahan is a guarantee of its interest. Other good articles are "The English Question" by J. J. Greenough; "'Tis Sixty Years Since in Chicago...
...number of pictures of the leading American ladies of Paris. "The Spoil of the Puma" is a capital hunting story of the West. Hjalmar Hjorth Boyeson contributes a brief study of Herrick Ibsen's poems in which is supplemented a portrait of Ibsen. "Crinoline Folly," is a sketch of the crinoline fashion in the past and the present and is very well illustrated. "A Revolution in Means of Communication" is a complete and very interesting description of the telautograph...
