In this unique series Of papers, now appearing
in MONTHLY, Mr.. Warner, au-
thor of MY Summer in a Garden, !" is doing his
best work. Here we have-in q pleasant fiction
of a talking group in front of an old-fashioned
country baek-log-philosophic suggestion, sar-
casm that smiles, not sneers, bright bits of de-
scription, social out-looks-and, enlivening all, a
fresh, crisp, yet luicy' and delicious humOr.
BACKLOG STUDIES have been quickly APP
preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these sketches, efor light, airy, but
genuine delineations of character, have rarely
been surpassed by any writer of the present
day. The Boston transcript says that 'Ior
delicacy of tonch, quaint sentiment, and quiet
hninor, BACKLOG STUDIES are the best of
things in their way The Nation thinks that
BACKLOG STUDIES No. III. "renews and
increases the evidence given in his previous pei
fofnances that we have in him a humorist of
real merit" Writing of one of these papers,
the N. Y. Mail says 1t is the 'best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
a day. and the Boston Commercial Bullettn
says "BACK-LOG TUD1E constitute a de-
cided hit in magazine literature Another of
these delightful papers will appear in the April
