Current History fourth quarter,
1897, 256 pp.;s. edited by Alfred 8.
johnson, ,Ph. D.; 81 80 year. Boston:
The. New England Publishing Com,
spany. Current History is partly q
periodical, partly a cyclopedic work OF
reference. Unlike other magazines, its
back snumbeEs areas valuable as the
current ones. In the dailies and week
lies, the record of events and OF
the WORLDS progress lis fragmentary
and unsystematic--haste of pubhca-
ton preventing verification of reports
and still more calm weighing or
facts. On the other hand, ensyclope-
dias, while necessary, as permanent
storehouses of. knowledge, are unable
to record the world s. progress, which
soon leaves them behind. Thus an
ample field is open for publication
furnishing a concise yet full and per-
nfanently~ valuable record This is
the field of Current History" In this
field it was the pioneer eight years
ago; and in it's special line 1t is Sull
without a competitor. That it ade-
quately fulfills it's mission is evident
in it's steady growth in public favor.
Wherever it is known, 1T is liked, and
best liked where longest known. 1t
is of ~inestimable value to libraries. to
teachers particularly of geography,
history, civics and science, to students,
to professional men, and in fact, to all
busy people who have not a library of
current literature at their fingers ends.
The "Critic''. of March 10Th (New
York; was even more interesting than
usual.>-~-It began with two-page arti-
Gle by John Burroughs on THE Secret
of Whitmans Following" Mr. Bur-
roughs has before now demonstrated
his ability to write about Walt Whit
man with tonic freshness and peculiar
charm. I'm the same number, two spicy
letters are printed-one from Anthony
Hope, denying the genuinenesst of the
interviews with him which have been
reported in the American papers since
his return to England; and one from
Andrew Lang, saying that the visiting
novelist was sure to be said to have
spoken as he was reported to have
done, whether he did SO or not. Even
Miss Glider will probably be ignorant
of the Great Unknowns" presence in
this country, DR.. Nicoll thinks. This
is the. spring announcement number of
the Critic" and contains about four
pages of publishers promises for the
spring and summer. ..-...
