A reader of THE DIAL wishes to find a short poem, published some years ago, based on the farewell of Andromache (Eneid, Book III.), of which he can recall but one line: "Her grief is more than I can bear." Can anyone identify the poem from this fragment?

The concluding volumes of the charming AitkenDent edition of Defoe (Macmillan) will include the rare "Due Preparations for the Plague," and a number of pamphlets relating to Captain Avery, Jack Sheppard, Jonathan Wild, and other pirates and robbers, now reprinted for the first time.

Messrs. Scribner's Sons' popular "Thistle Edition" of Stevenson's works is now completed, the final volume (the sixteenth) being devoted entirely to poetry. This edition is distinguished by some forty new poems (seventy pages), written principally during Stevenson's life in the South Seas, from 1888 to 1894.

The "Extension Bulletins" of the University of the State of New York are doing valuable work as adjuncts to popular education. The latest issues (October and November) are devoted, respectively, to "Study Clubs and "Extension of University Teaching in England and America." The latter work is by Dr. James E. Russell, of the University of Colorado.

"Stepniak," the Russian revolutionist, was run over by a railway train near London, on the 23d of December, and instantly killed. His real name was never divulged to the English public, and the current newspaper statements that it was Dragomanoff are without foundation. "Stepniak" visited Chicago about four years ago, and gave a lecture before the Twentieth Century Club. He was a forcible writer and speaker, and the command of English displayed in his books is remarkable.

The new international magazine, "Cosmopolis," the first number of which is to appear in January, will deal with the literature, politics, and drama of England, France, and Germany. Each writer will use his own language, and his remarks will be confined to his subject in so far as it affects the country which he represents. On the English side, Mr. Andrew Lang has promised to contribute the literary, Mr. Henry Norman the political, and Mr. A. B. Walkley the dramatic material. Mr. Fisher Unwin is the English publisher of the magazine.

That genial and wholesome family journal, "The Outlook," announces that hereafter one of its issues every month will be a "magazine number". that is, will be enlarged, abundantly illustrated, and otherwise made more like a monthly magazine than a weekly paper. A series of papers on "The Higher Life of American Cities" is promised as one feature of these "magazine numbers." Dr. Albert Shaw will write of New York, Mr. Melville Stone of Chicago, Dr. Edward Everett Hale of Boston, Mr. Talcott Williams of Philadelphia, Miss Grace King of New Orleans, and the Rev. John Snyder of St. Louis.

A Paris correspondent gives these interesting particulars regarding the library of the late Ernest Renan: "The complete catalogue of Renan's library has just been published. It will be well to add it to the writer's own works, for it is the bibliography of what he accomplished. Renan was not a bibliophile, and doubtless he took comparatively little interest in the form of a work. Books were for him above all tools. In turning over the leaves of his catalogue you enter really into the laboratory where all his life long he pursued unremit

tingly his scientific work, without rest, without discouragement, with an imperturbable faith, the faith of his youth in the future of science. The Oriental and Biblical collection is incomparably rich. It includes more than three thousand works. There are to be found all the books, reviews, and pamphlets which he consulted for his exegetical, philological, archæological, and historical studies. These books Renan loved as the companions of his great labors. He often expressed the hope that after his death they would not be dispersed. It is his family's wish that that desire should be fulfilled. They would like to dispose of the library as a whole, or at least not to let the richest portion of it namely, the Oriental collection be sold by auction."

MR. WATSON'S SONNET TO AMERICA. O towering daughter, Titan of the West, Behind a thousand leagues of foam secure, Thou toward whom our inmost heart is pure Of all intent, although thou threatenest With most unfilial hand thy mother's breast, Not for one breathing space may earth endure The thought of war's intolerable cure For such vague pains as vex to-day thy rest. But if thou hast more strength than thou canst spend In tasks of peace, and find'st her yoke too tame, Help us to smite the cruel, and befriend

The succorless, and put the false to shame: So shall the ages laud thee, and thy name Be lovely among nations to the end.

THE REVIEW OF REVIEWS.

EDITED BY ALBERT SHAW.

Trial Subscription for
Five Months,

$1.00.

Three recent sample copies,

25 cents.

Subscription
per Year,

$2.50.

The Literary World of October 5 says:

"We are deeply impressed from month to month with the value of the REVIEW OF REVIEWS, which is a sort of Eiffel Tower for the survey of the whole field of periodical literature.

And yet it has a mind and voice of

its own, and speaks out with decision

and sense on all public topics of the hour. It is a singular combination of the monthly magazine and the daily newspaper. It is daily in its freshness; it is monthly in its method. It

The only way to describe adequately the REVIEW OF REVIEWS is to put several copies into your hands; for it is so entirely different from all other magazines that one cannot form an idea of its timely interest and comprehensive value without reading it.

The REVIEW OF REVIEWS, as its name implies, gives in readable form the gist of the best articles in the other magazines all over the world, generally on the same date that they are published. With the recent extraordinary increase of worthy periodicals, these careful reviews, summaries, and quotations, containing the kernel of periodical literature, are alone worth the subscription price.

66

Aside from these departments, the editorial and contributed features of the REVIEW OF REVIEWS are themselves equal in extent to a magazine. The Editor's Progress of the World" is an invaluable chronicle of the happenings of the thirty days just past, with pictures of the men and women who have made the history of the month on every page.

The brilliant character sketches, fully illustrated, of such notable personalities in every country and sphere of action as Pope Leo, the Czar of Russia, Mr. Gladstone, Thomas Edison,-whoever is for the month most specially prominent,- are of absorbing interest.

If anything really notable occurs in the economic, political, or literary world, the reader of the REVIEW OF REVIEWS will find it discussed immediately — not after waiting two months-by the writer best fitted to do so.

Thousands of letters prompted by an introduction to the REVIEW OF REVIEWS, often from celebrated, and is the world under a field-glass. If always from discerning people, have been merely variations on the themes, "the magazine is indispensable," "the REVIEW OF REVIEWS is invaluable," "no American citizen should be without it," "it is a liberal education," etc., etc.

we were the teacher of a school we should use the 'Review of Reviews' as a reader, and so make it do duty as an illustrated text-book in current history."
