the Importance of Ellen Terry's
Memoirs they are a chronicle of
the literary and artistic develop
ment Of the last half-century.
They present the impressions of
a woman, who during her extra
ordinary experience came into
contact with nearly all the fore
most personages of her time.
They tell the story of a gifted ar
tist and a lovable woman, and in
a way that displays to a peculiar
degree the wonderful charm of
her personality.
Life of Mary Baker G. Eddy
The articles on the History of
Christian Science and the Life of
Mary Baker G. Eddy" by Geor-
gine Milmine, have been recOg-
| nized the country over as the
most important series of the year.
In the closing chapters will be
found an account of Conspiracy
and Rebellion" the second rup-
ture of Mrs. Eddy's ranks and
the secessions of thirtysiX of the
leaders of her church; War in
Heaven, the story of the Eddy
Woodbury. feud, and some of the
grotesque eXtravagances which
lay behind it.
George Kibbe Turner
and George Kennan are gather.
ing facts for a series of articles
dealing with perhaps the two
most momentous questions which
confront the American people.
One is largely economic in it's ma
ture; the other is not only eco
nomic, but it touches almost ev-
cry home in the country in a vi
tai way. Definite announcements
of these two series will be made
later in the year. In Europe, Mr..
Cleveland Moffett is gathering
material for a study of the Ham,
burg filter plant and the story of
a remarkable wild animal farm
in Germany.
The Serial of the Year
Those who enjoy a good serial
will do we'll not to miss THE
Wayfarers," by Mary Stewart |
Cutting, which begins in the De- |
cember number. 1t is one of the |
rarest things in modern litera-
ture-a real love tory-and the |
author of Little Stories of Mar
ried Life" has her own fresh and |
delightful way of telling it. ''Ro-
nance is a Towering weed that
grows in any SOIL" she declares
in the opening chapter, and Mrs.
Cutting takes her characters, av-
erage men and women of moder-
ate means-the representative
class of the country through a
most interesting series of busi-
ness and domestic adventures.
Stories of Adventure
Then, there are to come many
good old-fashioned thrilling tales
of adventure, both fiction and
authentic narratives of personal
experience. A series of adven-
lures in the South Seas by a new
writer, stories Of the early days
of the west, when herds of cat
tie ran wild and hostile Indians
lay in wait for the dauntless pi-
oneer. But most thrilling of all
is a series giving the actual ex-
periences OF a detective who was
involved in the wilder life of the
west. Seldom has any magazine
offered such an abundance and
as McClure's will publish

McCLURE'S FOR 1908.

Plans for McClure's for the
coming year have just been an
nounced. The magazine, judg-
ing from its prospectus, will con-
tinue to deal with great and i'm
portant subjects. The first of
these began in the November
number. Itisa series of articles on
Great American Fortunes
This series of articles by Bur-
ton j. Hendrick will tell the sto-
ry of the most wonderful era of
fortune building in history. The
development of virgin contin-
ent of bOundless wealth within
the memory of men now living is
an industrial feat unparalleled in
the history of the world. The
record of this development is the
history of a great political, finan-
cial, and industrial struggle. But
added to the absorbing historical
interest of these articles is a spice
of romance and adventure which
makes fiction seem fiat. Here are
Arabian Nights dreams come true
Girdling a great continent from
sea to sea with iron rails, string
ing it with lights, taking from
the heart of it thousands of tons
of precious metal, the gourd-like
growth of a great nation, are the
facts in the background of fabu-
lous American fortunes ranging
from twenty-five millions upward.
1t is a story of extraordinary per-
sonalities, of great games OF
chance, of industrial warfare, po-
litical and incredible fact.
Carl Schurz "reminiscences
The extraordinary popular in
terest aroused by the two series
already published has decided the
editors to add several other arti-
cles during 1908. At the close of
the war Mr.. Schurz's acquaint-
ances included nearly all the po-
litical leaders of the day. His es-
Inmates and descriptions of these
men are invaluable for their re-
markable vividness and the fresh
ness of first-hand impressions.
In these later articles, Mr.. Schurz
tells of his services as a United
States Senator, of his career as
an editor, of his activities as a
man of letters and a public-spir-
tied citizen.
