3 DEMocRArrc REVIEW FOR MARCH. ~ g. II G.
Langley, 81 Chatham street was fortunate era
in the history sf this popular and valuable work,
when it passed into the hands Of its present Judi.
cious and enterprsing publishers II improves with
every number and is now the best printed and best
edited magazine in the United States. The present
number contains fourteen original articles, almost
any one Of which is worth the annual cost of the
work. The prose articles are model for other
magazine writers, and its poetry never descends to
miserable med ocrity. And an invaluable feature
Of this work is the fine portraits given in each
number, Of celebrated Americans. These pen and
pencil sketches are superior to those which for
merly made the London " New Monthly so popu-
lar. The article inths number on w ordsworth's
sonnets, is gem. The porti AIT of Bryant is the
best ever published Of him.
