THE Princeton Review for January presents 
its usual massive array of original articles. 
That of Prof. William G. Sloan upon “ The 
Public Schools of England,” and of Dr. 
George P. Fisher, of Yale College, upon 
‘* The Historical Proofs of Christianity,’’ be- 
ing a consideration of the miracles of Christ, 
are the most attractive and readable in a 
popular sense, without the least disparage- 
ment of any of the others. This magazine is 
now in its fifty-seventh year, and is pub- 
lished in bi-monthly numbers of 148 pages at 
only $2 per annum. 
HAVING arranged clubbing terms with the 
North American Review, we are enabled to 
offer that foremost of American periodicals, 
together with the KAnsAs City REVIEW, at 
The Worth 
American is the organ of the best minds of 
the low price of $6 per year. 
America, nearly every writer of note in the 
country being a contributor to it. It dis- 
cusses the subjects that are most prominent 
in the public thought at the time, and pre- 
sents both sides of all important questions. 
It combines to a considerable extent the 
thoroughness of the Cyclopzdia with the 
timeliness of the daily paper. It should be 
read by the professional man, the student, 
the merchant, the manufacturer, the farmer ; 
in fact, by every one who wishes to form in- 
telligent opinions on the events of the day. 
NuMBER 17 of the Humboldt Library pre- 
sents this month one of the best of Herbert 
Spencer’s works ‘*Progress’’—-one which every 
intelligent person can read with pleasure and 
profit, whether he adopts the peculiar views 
set forth or not. 
The selections so far made by the editor of 
this popular series have been unusually judi- 
cious and well varied, having comprised geol- 
ogy, astronomy, metaphysics, education, nat- 
ural history and physics. Six more numbers 
will be included in the first year, which, 
when bound together, will make a most val- 
uable and comprehensive volume for the 
price. 
THE Phrenological Journal of New York is 
the only periodical devoted to the subject, 
KANSAS CITY REVIEW OF SCIENCE. 
and it includes with this all that relates to 
Human Nature and the improvement of men 
physically, mentally and morally. In the 
prospectus of 1881 the publishers make lib- 
eral propositions to subscribers. The price 
has been reduced to two dollars a year, and 
to each subscriber is offered a new phrenolog- 
ical bust. 
Capt. F. M. PosEGATE, a prominent citi- 
zen and postmaster of St. Joseph, Missouri, 
recently delivered a lecture at Maryville 
upon the “ Lights and Shadows of Life,” of 
which the Republican of that place speaks in 
the highest terms as ‘‘a beautiful picture 
drawn with delicate fineness and a keen in- 
sight into human nature.” 
ProF, C. V. RILEY, who has been added 
recently to the editorial corps of the Amevi- 
can Naturalist, writes that he has a few sets 
of the Zxtomologist to spare, which he will 
sell at $1,50 per volume, post-paid, 
The Age of Steel, formerly the St. Louis 
Journal of Commerce, is one of the oldest com- 
mercial and manufacturing papers in the 
West, being now in its forty-ninth volume. 
It is also one of the best, and we have fre- 
quently availed ourselves of information de- 
rived from its columns in working up mat- 
ter for the Reveew. It is published in St. 
Louis and furnished to subscribers at $3 for 
the weekly edition and $1 for the monthly 
edition. 
WE have reeeived ‘‘Annual Reviews” 
from a number of sources, showing com- 
mendable enterprise on the part of editors 
of Western papers and wonderful growth in 
Western cities. Most prominent among these 
are the Commercial Indicator of Kansas City, 
the Dazly Bee of Omaha, Nebraska, and the 
Tribune, published at Denver, Colorado. 
Each of these papers is a marvel of good 
printing and laborious, accurate and valua- 
ble editorial work, creditable in every respect 
to its proprietor and certain to be of inesti- 
mable value to the city and district whose 
business growth and importance it publishes 
to the country.
