exclude articles of the most important char
acter, such as have raised Blackwood and
some other foreign journals 10 their high in
huence and reputation, its pages are princ.
pally devoted to what is usually termed light
literature. 1t is distinguished from other
publications Of similar aims by the literary
and artistic merit of its contents. While
those of other works are unknown or anony-
