The MAGAZINE has attained in it's one quar-
ter century and more of existence to that
point where it may be said of it, in the words
of DR.. Johnson, at is val to blame and use
less to praise The lustre its long-ago-at-
tanned reputation has increased as the years
have passed, and it's future seems as bright if
not brighter than at any time since the golden
hue of prosperity settled around its later and
best years-Brookly n Eagle.
HARPER's MONTHLY is marked by the same
characteristics which gave it circulation from
the first with the better class of readers 1t
combines reading matter with Illustrations in
a way to make clear and vivid the facts pre-
scented. Pictures merely designed to catch
the eye of the ignorant are never inserted
