"An acquaintance with the principal con-
tents Of the leading Foreign Magazines is
con:essedly indispensable to every one who
would keep pace with the progress of
thought and of knowledge in our day
They are, however, so many and so costly
that few can obtain or even read the whole
of them. The Eclectic Performs well the
task OF winnowing The ,oheai from these
publications. thus making wha: is mos; val.
