EDITORIAL NOTES.

the essayist's views are clearly stated, his state- 

 ments fully supported by facts, his premises so 

 laid down as to legitimately and logically lead 

 to his conclusions, and that the paper was 

 listened to with marked interest from beginning 

 to end. None which has been presented to the 

 Academy has elicited more discussion or called 

 forth more or warmer complimentary com- 

 ments. 



At the close of Col. Van Horn's paper 

 one by Prof. G. C. Broadhead, upon "Meteors 

 and Meteorites," was read. It, also, is printed 

 in full in this number of the Eeview. It will 

 be found a full, complete and accurate account, 

 and one which will be extremely interesting to 

 meteorolosiists and others. 



PEor. Kedzie places us under obligations 

 by sending us copies of the original announce- 

 ments by MM. Pictet and Cailletet of their 

 success in liquefying oxygen, hydrogen and 

 nitrogen, gases which have hitherto resisted 

 and been supposed incapable of being reduced 

 to solid forms. 



We are compelled to apologize for the ex- 

 tremely unartistic appearance of the cuts illus- 

 trating Prof. Pritchett's astronomical article. 

 They reached us too late to have the damages 

 repaired, and we were obliged to use them, bad 

 as they are, or leave them out altogether. 



As WE have stated before, we can club the 

 Eeview with any of the Literary or Scientific 

 Magazines of the country, so as to save to 

 subscribers one collar or moi'e on the two 

 periodicals. 



SUBSCKIBEES who have not received all of 

 the numbers of the Review tor the past year 

 will be supplied with those missing gratis upon 

 calling upon the editor. All others wishing 

 back numbers vfill be supplied at twenty cents 

 each. 



cover return postage, unless they find that ex- 

 press charges will be less. 



We have made arrangements for binding 

 the first volume of the Eeview in half moroc- 

 co, with cloth sides, at $1.00 per volume, if 

 ten or more volumes are sent in at one 

 time. Persons at a distance will have to 

 send 28 cents in addition to the above sum to 



Cleopatra's Needle has at last been safely 

 delivered at LQjidon, and the caisson contain- 

 ing it is now safely moored in docks furnished 

 by a liberal mercantile firm of the city. 



To ALL new subscribers to the Eeview for 

 the next year we will furnish a bound copy of 

 the first volume at the reduced price of $3.00. 



NOTICES OF PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 



We are much gratified at being able to num- 

 ber among our exchanges the following valu- 

 able and popular periodicals, which have been 

 added to our list within the past month : — 



The Atlantic Monthly, a veteran among 

 the literary magazines of this country, being in 

 its forty-first volume, and having maintained 

 during all that time an unsurpassed reputation 

 for furnishing its readers excellent as well as 

 elegant articles, whether in prose or verse, on 

 all the topics of current literature, has added 

 to its attractions by consolidating with itself the 

 well-known and popular Galaxy. All of the 

 old contributors to the Atlantic, such as Long- 

 fellow, Holmes, Howells, Aldricb, " Mark 

 Twain," etc , will continue to enrich its pages, 

 while most of those who gave to the Galaxy its 

 freshness and sparkle will be retained and will 

 lend their brilliancy to the survivor. Pub- 

 lished by Houghton, Osgood & Co., Boston, 

 Mass. $4.00 per annum. Single numbers, 

 35 cents. 



The International Eeview. Vol. V., 

 No. 1 ; January and February, 1878. Pub- 

 lished by A. S. Barnes & Co., New York. $5.00 

 per annum; single numbers, $1,00. This peri- 

 odical, though comparatively a new one, has 

 rapidly assumed strength and position, and now 

 stands amon-r the foremost of the standard i2e- 

 views of the United States. The present number 

 contains articles by such well known and able 

 writers as Whittier, David A. Wells, Ernst 

 Curtius, Edward A. Freeman, Major Ben. 

 Perley Poore, Prof. W. C. Sumner, Alex. H. 

 Stephens, and others, both in this country and 

 Europe, equally noted as writers and thinkers.
