THE READING SPEAKER. CLUB AND HANDY THE INTERNATIONAL REVIEW will be continued during the ensuing year in monthly numbers on the new plan. This Review was originally publishe i every two months, and for several years was the only bi-monthly. Its success was such as to lead very many of its contemporaries to follow its example, proving the advantage of a bi-monthly over a quar erly for.n of publication. Beginning with the January number in 1879, the INTERNATIONAL was changed to a Monthly, under the editorship of Mr. HENRY CABOT LODGE and Mr. JOHN T. MORSE, Jr. The new editors have now been connected with the Review for a year, and the publishers take the liberty of publicly saying that the Review has eminently prospered in the hands of Messrs. Lodge and Morse, and they tak pleasure in announcing that the experiment of monthly publication, which they entered upon a year ago, has met with a very gratifying measure of success. The Review is about to enter upon its seventh year of existence with an encouraging access of popularity and better prospects than it has ever before enjoyed. No effort will be spared to increase its mer ts and deserts and to place it at the head of American periodical literature. The design is not to attract attention by the use of distinguished names or sensational writing; but the editors will sedulously aim to have all subjects of popular interest treated by writers who will, in every case, be sel cted on the ground of their peculiar knowledge and fitness for discussing the topic in hand. By this process it is expected to make each article a valuable and trustworthy contribution to the general knowledge of the age: and there will be few persons who will not find in every number some matter of interest to them ably and agreeably treated. OPINIONS OF SUBSCRIBERS. "The International Review has contained many articles of interest, and the principle of combining English and American writers in a common literary enterprise merits all encouragement." JAMES ANTHONY FROUDE. "Your readers have every reason to be satisfied with the International Review under the new management. The editors have been remarkably successful in securing able articles o 1 a great variety of important subjects and from a class of writers whose views thou htful men desire to know and consider." T. M. COOLEY. "The idea on which the International Review was based, of combining in its pages the best thought of Europe and America, was in ha py accord with the spirit of our age and country. The advantages of the plan have been shown by the contributions of your accomplished correspondents on questions of Science, Art and Literature; and so ne o' the papers on the historic policy of European States, Comestic and international, are of especial value to American students as illustrating the present outloos." JOHN JAY. "Your contributors, on both sides of the Atlanti, are writers of large intelligence and scholarly reputation; and they have made your Review, in the best sense, International." WM. H.

He has been led to the consideration of his theme, as he says in his preface, by the vagueness and ambiguity in common thought and literature in connection with the subject, and by "the tendency on the part of the prevailing physiological psychology of the day to resolve all feeling and our very emotions into nervous action, and thus gain an important province of our nature to materialism."

MABERLY'S PRINT COLLECTOR.* THE fashion of print-collecting was prob ably more in vogue during the last generation than it is in the present, though the price of old and rare prints has steadily increased and has never been so high as at this moment. With the assistance of science, modern short-hand and cheap processes of reproducing works of art have tended to supplant the laborious processes of skillful handiwork which in the old time elevated engraving to a high rank among the fine arts and made its masters famous. It is at this point that the modern spirit wages most successful war against the development of art; but the revival of interest in the graving tools and their work which is now promised, especially in the department of etching with the dry point and with acids, may soon turn the scales and give better trade to the Nobody believes in another person's experience. There is a prejudice conceived on a first superficial glance of people and circumstances, which nothing but your own observation can 25 correct; and then you look back with wonder to 28 recover the trace of why you thought so. People 28 are so proud of penetration, of detecting char29 acter at a coup d'ail that they seem to forget 29 how many little details go to form anything like a just estimate. It seldom happens that, when a violent like or dislike is conceived on first acquaintance, further knowledge will not qualify the one or soften the other, till sometimes the balance of liking is not only modified, but en-print-shops. tirely changed. . . . Then again there is a great There is no craze for collecting, however, difference in the use we are to make of people which has greater need of guidance than their relative position with regard to us; such a one is dull as an acquaintance, disagreeable in this which deals with the contents of old general society, unattractive in casual inter- portfolios. Our fathers were set upon the course; but, on the other hand, has got those lovable qualities which make the comfort of right track by the exhaustive labors of daily life, and vice versa. The question of how Adam Bartsch, Wm. Young Ottley, Joseph you like a person should be answered not by a Strutt, the Rev. Mr. Gilpin, and divers single negative or affirmative-"very much," "not at all"- but by defining how, in what other patient compilers of catalogues raisonwe like or not-as what and for what. Many més, covering the history of engraving and enmistakes might be saved thus; many might come gravers.

However, it will not fail to find its readers and admirers in the clerical world, as well as in social circles of almost all classes; for many remember with affection the late Bishop of Norwich, Edward Stanley, and his talented and influential wife, and are unwilling that their memories should pass into oblivion.
