whether the long essays, elaborate review
articles, and solidly-gled thirty-two pages
of matter may not be too much Tor the
American newspaper taste. Such journals,
however, thrive wonderfully in England,
and the best interests Of journalism will be
promoted if 8 similar success shall attend
the experiment here.
The Nation will, in any event, try the
experiment fairly and fully. 1t starts on

dollars. Ofthis sum, fifty one thousand,
