Efforts are being made to induce
Kate Sanborn to deliver q series OF
lectures in this city sometime in May.
1t is to be hoped the efforts will be
successful, for Miss Sanborn is one of
the most thoroughly educated, and one
of the most brilliant of living women.
She is from Hanover, n. II. Her
father, Prof. f. ID. Sanborn, held the
chair of bellies lettres and oratory at
Dartmouth College, in Hanover, for
nearly fifty years, and is we'll known
and much beloved by his pupils, now
scattered all over the country. He be-
lisved in giving girl the same sort of
education as boy, and as a result put
his daughter through the regular col
lege course. She has consequently a
broad education for the foundation, a
strong and natural love for literature,
and Il wonderful memory, both of
which she inherits from her father.
She was professor of English literature
for three years at Smith college, and
is, besides, well-known as a writer OF
valuable and interesting books, and as
a sparkling contributor to the various
magazines and periodicals. She has
also written a compendium of English
literature which is considered the best
in use. As a lecturer she is witty,
original, and brilliant. She has de-
livered her lectures in English litera-
ture to large audiences in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chi
cago, Cincinnati, and other cities. -
