EDITORIAL. 
Fail- and honest criticism will be allowed, but all personal 
remarks will find their wav into oblivion and the waste basket.

they may be separated from the main body of the volume of the 
Review, and if desirable, can be bound in a separate volume, 
constituting then a distinct—and we need not say an excellent—
