| IIPPINCOTTS MAGAZINE for December is
| replete with readable articles. Foremost
in importance is the topic of finance. II
is treated by one of the ablest fnanceers
| of New England, the Hen Amasa Walker,
well known IN his career in Congress, and
in business circles as one of the soundest
thinkers on this momentous subject. We
will not attempt an sbridgement of his
views, except to say that he thinks the eff
feet of the recent legislation (Which he
criticises closoly) is to postpone the re-
sumption of specie payments indefinitely.
The article on Florida will be entertaining
not only TO the invalid, but TO all who can
appreciate humorous description of the
country. The other articles will be found
very entertaining especially the opening
paper, which processes to detail the re-
markable experiences Of q correspondent
of Northern newspaper who accompanied
the Southern armies during The entire
war. In the announcement for 1871, the
publishers say that whatever has hitherto
recommended their magazine to public ia
vor will be continued, with such improve
ments as experience has suggested. j. B,
