188 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Charles H. Hallock^ founder and first editor of Forest and 

 Stream, still writes for that puhJioation. He lived in St. John and 

 carried on a husine&s in Chubb's building as a stock and exchange 

 broker during the war of the American Eebellion. It was supposed that 

 his sympathies were rather with the South in that memorable struggle. 

 At the close of the war he returned to the United States. 



Dr. Lucius Allison was the alleged writer of a clever and humorous 

 article, entitled " About Some Old Girls.'' 



Mr. Hunter Duvar was a well-known contributor, both in prose 

 and verse to several of the Acadian magazines. Some of his writings 

 were well thought of. The Prince Edward Island Magazine contains 

 some good examples of his work, as well as an obituary notice, pmb- 

 li.?hed with his portrait at the time of his death. 



It would not be just to conclude this someiw^hat lengthy list without 

 a more extended reference to W. P. Dole, LL.D., who has been a willing 

 and valuable assistant in nearly all of the magazine enterprises which 

 have been launched in New Brunswick, from the first issue of Stewart's 

 Quarterly to the present day. 



The Shady Side — Unsuccessful men — Youth — Bubbles — and a 

 review of Gladstone's Juventus Mumdi were contributed to Stewart's 

 Quarterly, by Dr. Dole over the nom-de-plume of Laelius. Of these 

 " Youth " was the most popular. 



An example of Dr. Dole's ability as a verse writer has already been 

 given. Another which simply bears the initial " C," and which appeared 

 in Stewart's Quarterly, is considered by him to be one of his best 

 efliorts in verse. 



Following immediately upon Stewart's Quarterly, appeared The 

 Maritime Monthly, edited by Mr. H. L. Spencer, the first number of 

 which was published at St. John, in 1873. It was continued through 

 at least five volumes of six numbers each. 



It was a well edited magazine, containing only original contribu- 

 tions, but it was perhaps not quite up to the standard of Stewart's 

 Quarterly. It ventured somewhat into the realm of religious denomi- 

 national discussion and of local politics, possibly not to the furtherance 

 of the welfare of the magazine. 



Many of those who had been contributors to Mr. Stewart's maga- 

 zine continued to support The Maritime Monthly, which was published 

 under the auspices of the " ]\Iaritime Monthly Club," the members 

 of which were as follows: — 



Mr. John Boyd, at the time of his death the newly appointed gover- 

 nor of New Brunswick. He was a well known writer and lecturer. 



Mr. H. L. Spencer, who has been elsewhere alluded to.
