The International Reujeto is new en-.
| terprlse and promises, we think, to be one
OF the best publications in the world. It.
Is to be published bi-monthly in New
| \ Orh, London, Paris, Berlin and Rome. II
is very. large and is to be devoted to sub
jects ci common Interest and Importance to
| all countries. This Class of subjects be-
come more numerous as knowledge in
| crcascS, and the demand for an interna-
| tional discussion Of them is already very
| great The price of the ReUielv is five dol,
| lars per annum. This is the erchd,GcdJLe
value of it. We believe the intrinsic value
of the present number to be far greater
than that sum. The contents are as fol-
| lows!

| cy, however, in moral sense, for it attri-

The article on fires is full Of Practical aud
useful suggestions about insurance, negii-
gence and other kindred topics. That on
deep sea explorations is fraught with Gu
riOus and at the same time very desirable
information about tie ocean bed and the
implements used in e&aiiiiItiDs it, This is
the most readable paper in the NUMBER.
The article on universal education is
lengthy, and possesses considerable merit
both for its logic and style. 1t
is the sort Of an article
which, on account Of its subject, everybody
ought to read and examine with the eye of
a critic. The fifth and sixth papers de
serve especial mention on account Of the
reputation Of the ajlthBrs gtd tile gravity Of
their subjects. These are able disquisitI0ns,
and viii doubtless attract d great deal OF
attention both in Europe and America.
The International ReUie,y promises to
be the medium through which the greatest
thinkets will communicate their thoughts
to the void, and we greet its establish
ment with congratulations t. its founders.
