The text is embellished with beautifully-executed engravings. Dr. Hendrickson writes on « Mount Tacoma, » Maurice Thompson on « Paul Hayne, » and Abby Sage Richardson on «The Christening of America.» There are departments of « Literature, » « Household Art, » « American Pulpit, » « Calendar of Health, » and « The Portfolio » of humorous anecdote—altogether a wonderful shilling's-worth. We quote elsewhere from one of the articles on « The Zest for the Sensational. »
