No other magazine desUfiiud ir ihe lnstruction and pleusureof the EuliBO-speaKlng peopte, weareconñdeni, embraces in lts scope so vast a rariety of topics wbich come home to the busiues and home Ufe of its readers. Indeed, it Is one of the prouduet boasts oi Hcribner's that lts catbullcity of judinent and taste has opened lts pages to mmiy classes of topics whlch, before lts advent were not considered suitable for currunt dlscussloa in a litersry magazine. The wonderful success of thls renture - sumethuiL' pheuomenal In modern times- has amply justitlfd whatuvt' r may have leeinud Uke a new departure In the art of editlng.

More than thls, thv couductors of the magtizine may Justly claim tbat they are, In some sense, discuverera as well as Inventors. How great a Bervlce to the cause of American deretopment in art and llterature, a wlse and patiënt fosterlng of bidden and ankuown power, has been rendred by the editorial control of this mngamlne, it is imposslble to estimate; but It is a very great service Looking througii the two volóme that are now giren to tbe public in substanlial inriii, sees the names of artlsU and authurs who tirtvy flrst reacbed the world of readers through the pages of Hcrlbner's.

That there bat been a popular demand for tb ae proof Imprrseiona, and that thuir beauty and excellence have amply Juetlfled tbelr publlcation, la ero tl fy ing temtmony 10 tne worth of Ihe work accompllshed. Home of the more notable ptctures in tbe volumes for ttie m ir last past are worthy of high pralse. The full-page porlratte of Uladstone, Beacouefleld, Dr. DOlllnger, Pather Hyaclnthe, and tbe fronlUpieceR, are rettlly triumphe of art, of whlch thoae wbo have furoished them to the world of rvaders may well he proad.
