The good taste and dignity that has
characterized issues in past years i
a ain evident, and under the direction of
a capable corps of editors the magazine
bids fair to equal. If not SurpaSS, ali
previous efforts.
1t is brimful of original and intensely
interesting features, but an essay of iif-
teen pages on the System OF Land Ten
ure in Colonial Virginia. the work of T.
+. Did axe, is a distinct feature. The
essay, in the words of a competent critic,
is "a splendid example OF rather rare
thing" 1t embraces an economic study
of an entire period. and is handled In
mastery style, with an agreeable absence
of pedantry and dryness that accompany
many attempts along similar lines.

cuSSed. and IL seemed to be the consensus

pointed for the purpose of calling on Mr..
