The "Necessary" Magazine 

 in the Presidential Year. 



Theodore Roosevelt. — "The Revifav of Reviews does really 

 important work, because it gives not merely an epitome of what is 

 going on in the world, but a chance to every man of whatever 

 political creed, who writes seriously and deeply, to reach the classes 

 of our people most interested in the vital government and social 

 problems of our time. I know that through its columns views have 

 been presented to me that I could not otherwise have access to ; 

 because all earnest and thoughtful men, no matter how widely their 

 ideas diverge, are given free utterance in its columns." 



SEVERAL hundred thousands of Americans find the American 

 Monthly Review of Reviews very useful and helpful read- 

 ing. In the political year it becomes fairly necessary. In no presi- 

 dential year will this be more true than in 1900, with the many 

 important problems created by the country's new colonial duties. 

 In Dr. Shaw's editorial survey of the month, in the timely con- 

 tributed features, in the departments reviewing the other maga- 

 zines of the wodd, the alert reader finds each month a full and 

 accurate presentation of the political news, with able discussions 

 of the economic and social questions which are interesting every- 

 body. The authoritative character sketches of the presidential 

 candidates and other notable figures appear at the hour when 

 public interest is greatest in these subjects. The portrayal of cur- 

 rent history in the best caricatures of each month is not the least 

 attractive of these many helps to a right understanding of one's 

 own times and one's own public duties. 



Each number is illustrated with nearly a hundred timely 

 pictures.
