plan does not entirely exclude articles of the most
important character, such as have raised Black
wood and some other foreign journals to their
high influence and reputation, its pages are prin-

literature. 1t is distlnA Wished from other publi-
cations of similar aims by the literary and artistic
merit of its contents While those OF other works
arc unknown or anonymous, the contributors to
