Professor de Sumichrast will read Valabregne's Madame a ses brevets a sketch of the tribulations of a man who has married a college graduate, and Maeterlinck's L'Intruse, the most remarkable, perhaps of this young writer's interesting works...
This hand-book will consist of two parts. The first will be devoted to a short historical sketch of the different universities offering graduate courses of an advanced character, and tables of statistics relating to them. The second will consist of a list of lecture and research courses of advanced character, to be given in 1893-94, open to graduate students. These courses are to be arranged primarily according to the departments of study into which they fall and secondarily according to the universities offering them, alphabetically arranged, and in connection with these the names and scholastic record...
...such great historical value, is continued in this number. Another paper of considerable interest to students of history is "The Princess Anne" by M. O. W. Oliphant. It is filled with engravings of portraits of many notable persons of her time.

Renan was a rationalist...
...first story of the number. "The Choice" is obscure in its meaning. It is hard to understand the feelings of the hero and harder still to grasp the situation. "A Character Sketch" is not a very deep study, but merely an account of the doings of a kleptomaniac. "The Reward of Indolence" is poor. The author's strongest point is in his descriptions which are not above the average. "Blackberries" by Kenneth Brown is pleasant reading though it tells no story and has little point...
