THE GALAXY for 1871 promises even greater at
fractions than heretofore. One distinctive feature
of THE GALAXY is, the bright sharp way in which
it is edited. Every subject of popular interest is
at once seized upon and written up by the most
competent person.
THE GALAXY has gathered around itself STAFF of
the most popular writers in every department,
and il is clear that every number is made up with
the same unity of purpose and nice dlscernmen'
of the public taste, which character-cs our most
successful daily and weekly papers. 1t has been
the custom for magazines to furnish the public
with the best selection they could make from such
articles as were sent to them for publication. Tie
day for this has past and the editor of frs, class
