The North American Review for
September has two distinct character
istics. either one Of which makes II
valuable addition to the current pc
riodical literature, An original man
uscript by Victor Hugo on Shake
speare" opens the number. and like
the article published some time ago
by Count Tolstoi, in spite of the fact
that there are only five pages. no one
can read the article without getting
a new and larger conception of the
EliZabethan poet. Mr.. Harold CoX's
article entitled THE Public Debt of
Great Britain" opens the. series of
THE Debts of Nations" which, in the
next few months, will give the read
ers of the Review the best popular
statement of the financial RESPONSE
bility of the nations of the earth.
Prof. Goodwin Smith, one of the most
valued contributors to the Review,
furnishes an article on The Political
Situation in England which calls 10
the attention of the reader one OF the
most interesting points in the devel-
opment of representative government.
Prof. Smith asks whether government
by party is to continue or not. 1t Is
startling question at first, but as he
proceeds with his argument. the con-
viction grows upon the reader that
after all, the ''outs" and the 'ins,"
the 'haves" and have nots," the
Government and the Opposition, I"
are but the result of certain kind OF
political development, and it is per-
fectly proper to ask whether the polit-
ical development which created this
form of government has gone or Is
going out of existence. These, of
course, are only a few of the articles

view, Franklin Square, New York.
