that of any American Monthly; fact which liter

which the work has been conducted. No number
of the X. has been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did bear indubable evidence of edi-
torial care, and anxious thought and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thorough

than a hundred years for man, and only to be at
