Scribner's Monthly for l877-78'

WITHOUT recalling the excellence OF the
w past, the publishers of ScRIBNER'
MONTHLY announces, for the year to come,
the following papers:
THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMEkl-
CAN FARM LIFE.-This subject Will be
treated in a series of separate papers engaged
from writer's who stand in the front rank
among Americans, both in qualities OF style
and in keen insight of nature Mr.. K. h
Robinson, author of a delightful paper on
Fox Hunting in New England" in the jan
uary number, will represent the same section
in this series John Burroughs, whose papers
on similar topics have been highly prlZed
and popular feature of SCRIBNER, will write oi
Farm Life in New York Maurice Thompson,
the post-naturllist, will describe the cfiarac-
terstics of Western farming, OF which hul
little has been written. 1t is expected thai
the illustration of this series will be of Il re-
fined aud typical character, commensurate
with the subject matter. 1t is thought tina
no paper or series OF papers yet issued in Serb
ner will so fully realize the constant desire o
the Magazine to keep out of the ruts, and both
in text and Illustrations, TO obtain quality
rather than quantity, and to print fresh,
strong and delicate work from original sour
ces.
"ROXY."-by Edward Eggleston, (author
of the Hoosier Schoolmaster," etc) This
new novel will doubtless be the most impor-
tant American serial of the year. The first
number was published in November.

novel and entertaining of these papers are yet
to appear, the scenes of which will be in the
West, the Middle States, the South, New Eng
land and Canada.
