SCRIBNERR'SS MONTHLY, '77-'78

Without recalling the excellence of the past,
the publishers of ScribnerS Monthly announce,
for the year to come, the following papers
The Picturesque Sids of American
Farm Liie.-This subject will be treated in
series of separate papers engaged from writ
ers who stand in the front rank among Ameri-
cans, both in qualities of style and in keen
insight of nature. Mr.. r. E. Robinson, author
of delightful paper on Fox: Hunting in New
England in the January number, win repre-
sent the same section i'll this series. JohnBur-
foughs, whose papers on similar topics have
been highly priced and popular feature of
Scribner will write of Farm Life in Newly orl1
Maurice Thompson, the poet-naturalist, will
describe the characteristics of Western farm
ing, of which but little has been written. 1t is
expected that the illustration of this series will
be of Il refined and typical character, commen-
surate with the subject-matter. 1t is thought
that no paper Or series of papers yet issued in
Scrlbner will so fully realize the constant de-
sire OF the magazine to keep out of the rutS,
and. both in text ana Illustrations, to obtain
quality rather than quantity and to print fresh,
strong and delicate work from original sources,
'tRoxy,''-by Edward Eggleston (author of
1.-The Hooser Schoolmaster,' etc. This new
novel will doubtless be the most important
American serial of the year. The first number
was published in November. Those who have
read it in manuscript declare Roxy to be much
the most striking and remarkable story this
author has ever written. 1t is illustrated by
one of the ablest of the younger American
painters-Mr. Walter Shirlaw, President of the
American Art Association.
American Sports.-Some of the most
novel and entertaining OF these are yet to ap-
pear, the scenes of which will be in the West,
the Middle States, the South New England and
Canada.

author of Wake Robin" etc. will contain not
only articles on Birds but on '.Tramping,''
Camping Out" and kindred topics. Mr.. Bur-

and illustrated by Fidelia Bridges.
