OUR TWENTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY.

SIR CHARLES GOODE. 



My Dear Sir, — I heartily congratulate 

 you on the " coming of age "of the Re- 

 view of Reviews, which I think I have 

 read from the start, and hope to con- 

 tinue doing so during my earthly career. 

 The sketch of your good father's life 

 is very interesting, and I hope and trust 

 that his useful life and tragic death may 

 be commemorated in some good form. 

 With very knid regards and best wishes, 

 I remain, yours faithfully,

REV. FREDERIC SPURR, 



Collins Street Baptist Church. 



Dear Mr. Stead, — Permit me to con- 

 gratulate you upon the Review of Re- 

 views as it appears under the new man- 

 agement in Australasia. 1 have sub- 

 scribed to the Review from its first num- 

 ber (in England). It does more to put 

 a man in living touch with the thought 

 of the world than any other magazine 



with which I am acquainted. I should not 

 like to be without it. The new form in 

 which it appears in Australasia is, in my 

 judgment, a decided improvement upon 

 the old. You give us just what we need 

 to know, and that in the most acceptable 

 way. I wish you every success. Aus- 

 tralians, who, geographically, are cut 

 off from the life of the old world, need 

 a magazine like yours to enlarge their 

 vision, and to bring them into a real 

 rapport with the fuller life of the world. 

 — Yours sincerely, 



THE HON. SAMUEL MAUGER. 



Accept my hearty congratulations on 

 having reached your twenty-hrst birth- 

 day. I have to my profit and pleasure 

 read the Review of Reviews from its 

 first issue till now. I know of its 

 chequered career, its difficulties and 

 trials. I trust, however, that the future 

 has nothing but good things in store for 

 it — as good as it deserves. For refer- 

 ence purposes, high ideals and the 

 maintenance of civic rights it has no 

 compeer. I trust Australians will soon 

 come to apprise it at its true value. 



PROFESSOR ADAM. 



Dear Mr. Stead, — I can remember the 

 beginning of the Review of Reviews in 

 the old country, and the interest with 

 which, as a young minister in the North 

 ot Scotland, I used to look forward to 

 its monthly appearance at my manse. I 

 was a regular reader for many years, 

 and found the magazine fresh, and in- 

 teresting, and helpful in many ways.
