SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOR
1S7757S.

Without recalling the excellence of the past, the
publishers of SCRIBNER's MONTHLY announce, for
the year to come, the following papers:
THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMERICAN
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.. r. E. Robinson, author of delightful paper
on I" Fox-Hunting in New England" in the January
number, viii represent the same section in this
series. John Burroughs, whose papers on similar
topics have been a highly priced and popular fea-
ture of SCRIBNER, will write of Farm Life in New
York. Maurice Thompson, the poet-naturallst,
will describe the characteristics of Western farm
ing, of which but little has been written 1t isex-
pected that the illustration of this series viii be of
refined and typical character, commensurate
with the subject-matter. 1t is thought that no pa
per or series of papers yet issued in SCRIBEER viii
so fully realize the constant desire of the magazine
to keep out of the rUts and, both in text and illus
trations, to obtain quality, and to print fresh,
strong and delicate work from original sources.
"ROXY,"-by EDWARD EGGLEsToN (author of
&c The Hoosier schoolmaster, ~. 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 manu-
script declare ROXY to be much the most striking
and remarkable story this author has written.

American printers-AIr. Walter Shirtaw, President
of &c The American Art Association !"
