The New England Magazine for No
vember opens with an article which must
prove of rare interest to lovers of Boston
history and antiquities, and of interest
almost as great to everybody who cares
for architecture in America. It is an ar
ticle on Charles Bulfnch, the architect,
by MI. Ashton Willard, whose recent
writing on the old New England meet
lng-houses in this magazine has been so
charming. Charles Buifnch was the
Boston early in the century. and was for
many years the supervising architect of
the capitol at Washington; but it is only
after turning the pages of this article,
with its wealth of illustrations,-the state
house in Boston, the Maine state house,
the Massachusetts general hospital, the
Mclean asylum, Faneuil Hall us 1t now
is, old Franklin street in Boston, Colon
made Row, and so many other places dear
to the old Bostonian, with churches and
court houses scattered all over Massa-
chusetts,-that one realizes the amazing
variety and extent of Bulfnch's work.
The articles in this number of the New
England Magazine, however, which will
provoke most discussion, are two on the
Southern Question, one by Rev. A. d.
Mayo on 1.-The Thru Estate of the
South" detailing the remarkable growth
in the south of a new democracy, perme-
ated by living ideas and destined rapid
ly to become the controlling rower; the
other by Professor Charles II. Lever
more Of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, discussing the dreadful
mockery of law still prevailing in great
sections of the south, especially as wit
messed by himself during a recent resi-
dence in North Carolina.

The November number of the North
American Review opens with a review of
the work of the first session of the Fifty
first congress. With it's usual impair
tiality, it allows three representatives of
each party in the house of representa-
tives to express their opinions with entire
freedom. The spokesman of the repub-
licans are Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio, the
author of the Mckinley tariff bill, to
which all of the writer's devote consider
able attention; Mr.. Lodge of Massachu-
setts, we'll known as the author of the
Lodge election bill, and Mr.. Dalzell of
Pennsylvania. The democratic side is
presented by Mr.. Fitch of New York,
MI. McAdoo of New Jersey and Mr..
Clemens Of Georgia. Turning from do
nestle politics to foreign affairs, we next
have a striking article on "Scottish Poll
tics" by the Marquis of Lorne, who treats
his subject in a clever and entertaining
way.
