 The veteran 3/o^zi7i«, which long ago outgrew its origit 

 nal title of the 'Sew Monthly Magazine, has not in the least

 it in maay ways, and has kept fairly abreast of the times. 

 thanks to the enterprise of the publishers and the tact and 

 wisdom of its editors. For whatever is best and most read- 

 able in the Literature of travel, discovery, and fiction, th» 

 average reader of to day looks to Harper's Magazine, just ai 

 expectantly as did the reader of a quarter of a century ago; 

 there is the same admirable variety jf contents and the same 

 freshness and suggestiveness in its editorial department* 

 now as then. — Boston Journal,
