...only in the peculiar perversion of the English language that "Leffing Ges" is comparable to "Nize Baby", but even in the type of stories told. For example, in this latest work we again meet "De Boston Tea Potty", "Crissty Colombiss" and the perpetual menace of "Leetle Rad Riding Hood." But then perhaps the possibilities are limited. They are, indeed, between the Grossian and Burbigian dialects. As one well versed in the variations of 'English as she is spoke', this reviewer, at a guess, would say that the raconteur of Mr. Burbig's stories is of mixed Jewish and Italian parentage...

A journal, devoted solely to research in American letters can easily find its scope of service. The coming first number with its articles on Sydney Lanter, Bret Harte, Edgar Allan Poe reveals the type of work to be expected. An awakening of national self-consciousness in American literature in a movement disconnected from the Sherwood Anderson-Sinclair Lewis school will be welcomed as a distinct addition.
