We are in receipt of the last bound
volume of The Century Magazine { No
vember, 'S4, to April, 'S5). During the
past six months the magazine has nearly
doubled its northumberland edi-
tons and more than million and quar-
ter copies of these six numbers having
been printed. The success of The CenturV
is phenomenal The edition OF April
numbered 5000 copies; that of the May
number will be 100000 copies. This I'M
precedented circulation is without doubt
owing to the series of war articles--by all
odds the most fortunate notion that has
ever occurred to an editor, and which The
Century was in exceptionally favora-
bic circumstances to carry out.
In the future the magazine will be is
sued on the first of each month. The
May number will be issued on May /.
