City That Lives Outdoors and Eleanor
Lewis's can Old-Time Philosopher
happily combine pleasant and profitable
reading. There is plenty OF nonsense
verse and pictures, too, to make fun.
A feature in the February number OF
The Booklovers Magazine which gives
it the prominence and value beyond
that of most of its class--Whlch, we are
glad to say is large and growing CLASS
in this country-is the study OF Ralph
and Tribute of a Son, from the pen OF
Edward Waldo Emerson, followed by
five more brief articles studleS and
biographical sketches by other hands.
These, with So illustrations, embrace
a section of the magazine filling 53
pages. The series of illustrations Is
mos. interesting. They embrace no less
than II portraits of Emerson, some or
which are in color, with several FAC
simile letters, pictures of his home IN
Concord, of his grave, of the Old Manse,
of the Wayside, of Walden pond, OF
Concord, river and bridge, of the battle
monument, of street in Concord, OF
Emerson's study, with portraits OF Car
lyle, of Bronson Alcott, of w. E. Chan.
ming, of Margaret Fuller, OF Samuel
Bradford and of William H. Furness.
The article alone gives great distinction
to a magazine which must leap into I'M
mediate success from the beauty OF lts
makeup and the entertaining character
of it's contents. Philadelphia: 1928 Wal
