International Review, Feb, 1ss

International Review, Eeb., 1881.
 This number of the Review is fully up to
 the high-water mark of excellence set by the editors and publishers for the year just enter ed upon. In has a ell-balanced and par
 ticularly interesting table of contents. The leading article is contributed by one of the editors, MT. John T. Morse, Jr, upon "John Quincy Adams Diary" and is as readable and interesting as anything from his pen is sure to be. It throws light upon 6 phase of the character of the somewhat grim and austere Puritan statesman which has not heretofore received much attention, and has, indeed, not | been thought to exist We are none too well | acquainted with the private lives and real characters of the founders of our republic, and this article will help us to somewhat better | knowledge of one of the greatest of them l Robert H. Parkinson writes upon 'Froude's | Defence of Henry the Eighth,"-an article oi peculiar and more than ordinary interest to students of English history. ''The Tariff | Question" IS ably and understandingly dis cussed by Hamilton Andrews Hill, who re- views the history of tariff exactions, and con cludes that i've have departed very far from the principles laid down by the fathers of the republic, aud by the moderate statesmen o
 both parties of the last generation" M Zola as Critic' Is considered by Thomas Sergeant Perry; and another literary article is Hans Christian Andersen" by Leopold Katscher. James Mascarene Hubbard has an article upon Eviction and Public Libraries, which should be read by all who have any
 thing to do with the selection of books fol
 these institutions. The new volume of Ten
 nyson's poems Is feyiewed by that accom-
 plished literary essayist, George Barnet
 Smith and the number is brought to a close
 with an able article upon "our Mercantile
 Marine" by John Goldman, which IS a sharp and trenchaut handling of g most perple&inl
 problem h American patics. -.
