called the American Union Academy of Litera-

eral features in regard TO the admission of

likely to become more popular and more
generally useful to all who desire To investi-
gate subjects pertaing to their special pursuits.
Being located in Washington, it will hay,
singular and important advantages, surrounded
as it win be by libraries, and various scien-

undoubtedly wide field of usefulness still open
for an academy Of this kind; and we wish il sue
cess with all our heart. 1t may do a vast deal o;
good if it keeps clear Of the exclusivness which
marks many organizations of like nature.
From the programme il has adopted there is
certainly promise that this will he the case.
The Academy will cause to I've published such
papers. it deems OF sufficient value i'm the in
vestigation Of any given tOpic-but it will not
endorse thereby the views expressed by the
author: he must stand OF fall before the public on
the intrinsic merits of his opinions, and entirely
independent Of any support from those of the
Academy. Meetings will be held monthly, at
which the public will be freely admitted, and
any visitor may be entitled to participate i'm the
discussions. These are the principles upon
which the new Academy starts upon its career,
and from the distinguished names OF its founders,
we have good reason for believing that it will
meet with all the success which they anticipate.
