REytEW OF REVIEWS FOR APRIL.
With the April number the Rerieu of
Reriems enters upon its second year. 1t
has had an exceptional, if not an
altogether unique, history. One year ago
it was known only to a few discrimi-
mating readers. and it's subscription list
and news stand sales required only few
thousand copies. Its edition the present
month is 10000 copies, and it is eagerly
read in every State and Territory in the
Union and in every part OF Canada. No
extraordinary efforts have been made to
push the magazine. There has been very
lii tie canVaSSing done for it; no chrOmOs
have been given to it's subscribers: no
special inducements. such as an encvclO-
ppdia or a parlor organ thrown in as
gratuity or offered at half price, have
been offered by the publishers The
magazine has grown to an enormous
circulation and to commanding influence
simply upon its merits; Its readers have
liked 1t and therefore recommended it to
their friends. 1t owes not Il little to the
newspapers OF the country. which have
appreciated the journalistic enterprise
and vigOr and the enormous amount of
hard honest labor put into every num-
Der, and which have most heartily
recommended it to their readers While
