CURRENT
LITERATURE

"It is entitled to the literary right of way." Rev. Thomas S. Hubert, Cleveland, Tenn.

A

MAGAZINE which, not by mere lists or breif notices only, but by abundant and ample extracts from the best that is going, keeps within its readers'view the whole current of literature; both the literature of the hour and that of the deeper tide of enduring authorship.
