THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
Will continue to embrace notes on current litera-
ture, etc, and reviews of all new American and
foreign works of general interest or value. The
criticisms of Graham's Magazine are acknowl.

the monthly and quarterly journals have become
mere advertising mediums for the booksellers, in
