REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



HON. JAMES BALFOUR, M.L.C. 



Dear Sir, — I congratulate you on 

 your reaching your majority in the pub- 

 lication of the Australian edition of the 

 Review of Reviews. I remember when 

 the English edition was first published, 

 and how it hlled a place hitherto vacant, 

 and filled it well. The review of the 

 most interesting papers in the magazines 

 of the month was an original and happ\ 

 idea- To Australians, the record of the 

 chief events of the month in the mother 

 countn,' and here, and the stor}' in cari- 

 cature make instructive reading. — I am, 

 yours faithfully.

Dear Mr. Stead, — Very man) happy 

 returns. I cannot understand why Aus- 

 tralians are so ready to buy European 

 and American monthlies when for the 

 sum of sixpence they can purchase )'Our 

 excellent Review. What has struck me 

 during my wanderings in Australasia 



has been the fact that for sixpence I 

 have been able to buy the Review of 

 Reviews in the most remote parts of 

 Queensland, New Zealand, etc. Six- 

 pence a month to be kept in touch with 

 the happenings of tw-o worlds is little 

 enough. While travelling I have found 

 vour summary of the best current 

 thought invaluable. When I return to 

 Eiu-ope I am anxious to keep in touch 

 with Australasian affairs and enclose 

 subscription- — ^Yours sincerely.

Dear Mr. Stead. — I congratulate you 

 on the 2 1st anniversary' of the birthda) 

 of the Review of Reviews, which is the 

 busy man's handy epitome of current 

 periodical literature. Without your 

 monthly summan,- of the reviews of the 

 dav, I fear manv of us would soon be 



left witnout icnowledge of what is beine 



done and thought 



in 



the rest of the 



world- — Yours, sincereh".
