The North American Review for October

 the English radical leader. O. B. Frothing- 

 ham writes of "The Objectionable in Liter- 



ature." Dr. Henry Schliemann tells the in- 

 teresting story of one year's " Discoveries at 

 Troy." Senator John I, Mitchell, of Penn- 

 sylvania, treats of the rise and progress of 

 the rule of " Political Bosses." Professor 

 George L. Vose, of the Massachusetts Insti- 

 tute of Technology, contributes an article of 

 exceptional value on "Safety in Railway 

 Travel," and Prof. Charles S. Sargent, of 

 the Harvard College Arboretum, contributes 

 an instructive essay on " The Protection of 

 Forests." The Review is sold by booksel- 

 sellers and newsdealers generally. 



The Observer^ Falls City, Nebraska, says- 

 of the Review: "This excellent monthly 

 is continually growing in favor. It is fresh 

 and original and numbers some of the ablest 

 contributors on the continent." 



The Wichita Eagle says: "The Kansas^ 

 City Review should reach the table of every 

 professional, literary and scientifically in- 

 clined man in Kansas. It is a splendid pub- 

 lication, full of matter pertaining to th& 

 formation and wonders of the trans-Missis- 

 sippi country and general scientific papers of 

 great worth and absorbing interest. Two 

 dollars and fifty cents per annum is wonder- 

 fully cheap for a magazine of such size and 

 worth, and which is published by Hon, Theo. 

 S. Case, not for the money there might be in 

 such a publication, but for his love of the 

 work." 



As usual, the Review is full of interesting 

 reading matter. The original articles are on 

 subjects that interest most readers and search- 

 ers after knowledge. This work is a credit 

 to the intelligent forces of the West and- 

 should be liberally supported. In the East 

 it is looked upon as authority. — Herald.
