The consensus OF opinion settles the
question of the timeliness of this publ.
cation. 1t is held to be one of the great
est needs of Southern historical work. in
view of what is called the widely extend
ed historical renaissance over the South.
1t is believed that there is no broader
field open for articles of historical In
terest Than that presented to-day by the
Gulf States and that the publication of
a magazine of such scope will bring
prominently forward the bes, writers of
the South.
We have so long looked to the North
for the more ambitious literary enter
prises. The Outlook, the Review of Re-
Views and half dozen other magazines
are the publications upon which we rely
for much that Is of historical value.
With the starting of an equally ambi-
tious magazine in the South, all that is
needed to develop it along the most eff
fective lines is the support and enoour-
agemept that the South gives the hun
dred publications oil the North.
