 AUTOGRAPHIC SUPPLEMENT AND INDEX OE PORTRAITS. 
 
 The following pages contain a descriptive and elucidatory supplement to the preceding collection of 
 Portraits and Autographs. The number printed above each separate entry refers to the preceding 
 page on which the portrait of the celebrity referred to will be found. The collection contains many 
 autographs for which it was impossible to find room in the Album. 
 
 1 
 
 HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN. This portrait, taken 
 by Bassano, was selected by the Queen for reproduction 
 with her autograph in the Review of Reviews as that 
 which Her Majesty liked best. Several tons of this 
 photograph were sold during the Jubilee year. 
 
 3 
 
 H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES. In Colonel 
 Knollys* letter it will be noticed that he is desired 
 to state that ‘ £ His Royal Highness hopes you will 
 be successful in accomplishing the purpose which you 
 have in view.” That purpose was defined by me in 
 a letter to the Prince as that of making the Review 
 of Reviews a universal medium of communication 
 between all members of the English-speaking race. 
 The portrait the Prince regards as a very good one. It 
 was taken by Messrs. W. and D. Downey. 
 
 5 
 
 The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P. This por¬ 
 trait, together with that of Mrs. Gladstone, originally 
 appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette * ‘ Grand Old Man 
 Extra.” His autograph, written on a postcard, declares 
 the idea of the Review of Reviews to be “highly use¬ 
 ful as well as ingenious.” 
 
 6 
 
 The Right Hon. the Marquis of Salisbury, K.G. 
 
 The portrait of the Prime Minister of the Queen was 
 taken in the month of July. The confidence which he 
 expressed in December, 1889, that the establishment of 
 the Review of Reviews would be “a success, and in a 
 literary point of view very useful,” has been fulfilled to 
 an extent beyond anything that Lord Salisbury could 
 have anticipated. 
 
 9 
 
 His Grace the Archbishop of York. When the 
 Review was projected his Grace wrote me as follows :— 
 
 Your proposed review and summary of reviews and 
 magazines of England and other countries will be very 
 useful. The stream of periodicals now pouring forth 
 from hundreds of channels is beyond the powers of any 
 reader to follow. One often hears from some friend of 
 an excellent article on a given subject, but the friend has 
 forgotten the magazine in which he saw it and the 
 month too. Much that is excellent is thus lost for all 
 practical use at the end of the month of its publication. 
 Such a review of reviews as you contemplate will exactly 
 meet this difficulty, and I heartily wish it success. 
 
 This letter, written in December, immensely enhances 
 the value of the autograph published on page 8, which 
 was written five months later.

 And Index of Portraits . 
 
 10 
 
 ie Right Hon. Lord Coleridge, Lord Chief Justice 
 
 I ngland. Lord Coleridge wrote me before the Review 
 ;ared :— 
 
 I thank you for your courtesy in writing to me as to 
 j your proposed handbook or guide to the magazines. 
 
 I have no manner of doubt that it will be both interest- 
 ! ing and useful. If I abstain from saying more than this 
 rather curt sentence on the subject, it is because I am 
 now an old man, and such literary education as I had was 
 : very little concerned with newspapers or magazines. At 
 one time of my life I wrote far too many articles to have 
 . much opinion of the ability required to produce them, or 
 ! their value to anyone when produced. It may be replied 
 to me that I have a right to speak only of my own pro- 
 i ductions, which of course is true ; but on looking back I 
 fi cannot honestly say I think mine were much worse than 
 the general run of articles which passed muster fairly 
 : well according to the standard of such things. It would 
 be invidious to particularize, but I think the butter is 
 often very thin over the plate, whereas it ought to be 
 jj and used to be in a pat. 
 
 ij ad some difficulty about Lord Coleridge’s portrait, 
 j the Lord Chief Justice dislikes photographers and has 
 eat aversion to being stuck about in shop windows. 
 
 I ‘ortunately the Album had to go to press before Lord 
 j bridge returned to town, otherwise I should have 
 \ a able to have published a copy of his portrait which 
 | done for the Grillion Club when he was Solicitor- 
 ! ieral. It was then considered very good. The 
 ^trait which I publish is much more recent. 
 
 13 
 
 [is Eminence Cardinal Manning. The following 
 ; ie letter which Cardinal Manning addressed to me at 
 beginning of this enterprise :— 
 
 Your plan of collecting and publishing articles or 
 2 extracts from articles from the magazines month by 
 , month will be very useful. 
 
 1 We need to have at hand certain articles and certain 
 parts of articles for ready reference. Your collection 
 ; will be, if I understand it, an index of the chief matters 
 of interest in each month, and as such of very great help 
 to readers in London, and still more to readers out of 
 f London. 
 
 i ave selected as an autograph, however, a letter that 
 nore characteristic, and of much more general interest, 
 is the letter which His Eminence wrote to me on 
 
 I day on which I was consigned to gaol five years 
 i. The photograph was taken this summer, and is 
 i of the best, if not the best, that has been published. 
 
 14 
 
 lis Majesty the King of the Belgians. The auto- 
 ph portrait I had the honour of receiving from His 
 I jesty in October. The letter on page 15 is that of 
 j Majesty’s Secretary, enclosing an order for sub- 
 iption to the Review, qui est de nature a offrir 
 i veritable inter et. His Majesty speaks English 
 ;h fluency and reads it with ease. 
 
 His Holiness Pope Leo XIII.—The portrait of the 
 Pope is from a life-size oil painting by Mr. Thaddeus, 
 done in Rome in 1886. It is still a striking likeness 
 of the Pope, although His Holiness is now much more 
 frail. 
 
 17 
 
 His Eminence Cardinal Rampolla, Cardinal Ram- 
 polla is the Pope’s Secretary of State, and through him 
 all communications with foreign Powers are carried on. 
 The youth of the Cardinal Secretary of State contrasts 
 very much with the age of His Holiness. 
 
 18 
 
 The Right Hon. G. J. Gosehen, M.P. When I 
 started the Review Mr. Gosehen declined to give me his 
 benediction. He said he feared the tendency of the 
 age was to substitute a mere smattering of knowledge 
 for knowledge itself, that people now read magazines 
 instead of books, and that the Review might facilitate 
 this temptation. I waited for six months and then 
 sent him the half-yearly volume. His answer is the 
 autograph on page 19. The photograph was taken by a 
 Dublin photographer, who does Mr. Gosehen a little 
 more justice than is usually shown him by those who 
 hail from beyond St. George’s Channel. 
 
 20 
 
 The Right Hon. the Marquis of Lansdowne, G.C.B., 
 Viceroy of India. The following is the full text of the 
 letter from which an extract is published on page 21 :— 
 
 Government House, Calcutta, February 6, 1890. 
 
 Dear Mr. Stead,—I may safely include myself in the 
 number of those who will be gainers by the publication 
 of the Review of Reviews. We Indian officials have, 
 I suspect, even less time for studying the current litera¬ 
 ture of the day than our fellow-workers at home. We 
 shall consequently be grateful to you for providing us 
 with an easy and expeditious mode of getting at that 
 which is best worth reading in the reviews and magazines. 
 
 You may perhaps be able to do India a good turn by 
 giving prominence to ably-written articles, and parts of 
 articles, upon Indian questions. The number of such 
 articles is, it appears to me, disproportionately small, 
 considering the importance and interest of the subject, 
 and the Review of Reviews could correct this by 
 bringing before a larger public whatever is best written, 
 in and out of India, about Indian affairs. 
 
 One or two very creditably-conducted reviews are 
 published in this country, but I must leave you to find 
 them out, or I shall be accused of partisanship. 
 
 The portrait was taken immediately before he left for 
 
 India in 1888.

 The Right Hon. Marquis of Hartington, M.P. The

 And Index of Portraits. 
 
 —- 
 
 24 
 
 Jeneral Viscount Wolseley, G.C.B. Lord Wolseley, 
 w Commander-in-Chief of Her Majesty’s forces in 
 ffand, was photographed, specially for the Review of 
 3 views, in August, at Greenwich, immediately before 
 wing the War Office to take up his Irish command. 
 
 1 ie autograph is taken from a letter written to me some 
 o or three years ago, when I was agitating for an 
 crease in the Navy, and is a very characteristic ex- 
 •ession of opinion. 
 
 26 
 
 The Right Hon. Sir Augustus Paget, G.C.B., Her 
 ajesty’s Ambassador at Vienna. Our portrait is 
 ,ken from a photograph recently taken in Rome. 
 
 28 
 
 L Lady Paget. Lady Paget, the wife of Sir Augustus 
 aget, has come prominently before the public this year 
 ; y her articles on Count Mattei in the National Review. 
 [er portrait is from a picture by Lady Granby, re- 
 roduced by the Autotype Company, New Oxford Street. 
 
 29 
 
 Mrs. Gladstone. The photograph of the wife of the 
 light Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., was taken three or 
 our years ago, and is a very faithful likeness of the 
 I liberal leader’s better half. 
 
 30 
 
 The Right Hon. Sir Edward Malet, G.C.B., Her 
 Majesty’s Ambassador at the Court of Germany. 
 This portrait of Sir Edward, in his official uniform, was 
 k ;aken at the beginning of September. It slightly exagge- 
 f rates his stature, whilst it is a very faithful portrait. Sir 
 Edward Malet wrote, ‘ ‘ I propose to adopt the most 
 practical way of expressing my good wishes towards your 
 'new enterprise by subscribing to it.” 
 
 81 
 
 The Right Hon. Sir William White, G.C.B., Her 
 Majesty’s Ambassador to Turkey. Sir William White, 
 
 F whom the Russians enviously describe as ‘ ‘ the Englis i 
 Ignatieff,” and who occupies the leading position among 
 the diplomatists at Constantinople, sent me the following 
 cordial welcome on the appearance of the Review . • 
 
 It has been always my sincere desire to keep in touch 
 ! with the periodical literature of my own and of several 
 
 other countries. . J1 .. , 
 
 Your efforts in the direction of giving the English- 
 speaking public, in your Review of Reviews, the 
 i possibility of being supplied with a review of these 
 
 r various articles, will no doubt prove extremely useful, 
 
 and be very welcome. 
 
 The photograph, which was sent me from Constantinople, 
 is one of the most recent which has been taken. 
 
 32 
 
 Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell, M.P. Few signatures 
 have been so much disputed as that of Mr. Parnell, the 
 leader of the Irish Party. That which is appended to his 
 portrait is one of the most characteristic. The portrait 
 
 represents him when he was much younger than he is 
 to-day, but it was the best photograph that I could obtain. 
 It was taken before he had been through the ordeal of 
 the Parnell Commission. 
 
 33 
 
 The Right Hon. Arthur James Balfour, M.P., Chief 
 Secretary for Ireland and future Leader of the Con¬ 
 servative Party. Mr. Balfour’s signature is much less 
 legible than Mr. Parnell’s. Most of his correspondence 
 is conducted by the aid of secretaries, who of late have 
 learned to use typewriters. When I submitted my 
 scheme to him in December, 1889, he wrote: 
 
 I think your scheme ought to prove useful. The 
 summary may in some cases be as valuable as. the 
 original articles, and in all cases they ought o give 
 sufficient indication as to whether the original article 
 is or is not worth reading; 
 
 The Dor trait is a very good one. 
 
 34 
 
 The Late Bishop Lightfoot.— The following extracts 
 from a letter written by the late Bishop Liglitfoot’s 
 chaplain from Bournemouth possess a melancholy 
 interest as they are taken from one of the last com¬ 
 munications received from him before his death : 
 
 In reply to your letter addressed to the Bishop of 
 Durham, his lordship desires me to say that in his 
 opinion some such monthly guide to the magazines as 
 you suggest and contemplate would be valuable to all 
 
 classes of readers. . ., . , 
 
 He has no doubt that it would obtain a wide circula¬

 The Late Cardinal Newman.— The portrait of the 
 late Cardinal Newman is taken by permission of the 
 Paternoster Review from the last photograph taken of the 
 Cardinal by the Rev. Anthony H. Pouen, of the Oratory. 
 It was dated July 2nd, 1890. He died on August lltli. 
 The autograph is a facsimile reproduction of the first 
 part of a letter which he wrote to me in the spring of 
 1885. 
 
 36 
 
 Mr. John Burns. The portrait of Mr. Burns was 
 specially taken for the Review of Reviews. It is a 
 very faithful representation of the rugged but honest 
 countenance of the man who has come to the front as 
 the representative of the New Unionism. Mr. Burns 
 is a member of the London County Council, member of 
 the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union 
 Congress, and Liberal candidate for Battersea. The 
 autograph quoted on page 36 is an extract from a letter 
 which contains the following characteristic confession: — 
 
 Such a Review to myself when in Africa would have 
 been a great boon, as it will be at home. To a poor man 
 like myself, the prices of magazines . are prohibitive, 
 especially when there are no free libraries in his neigh¬ 
 bourhood. I have at times bought the Nineteenth 
 
 [ HI ] 
 
Autographic 
 
 Century for an important article, and thereby strained 
 my resources. Being unable to purchase the Fortnightly 
 of same month, I have looked at the first two pages on 
 a bookstall at Charing Cross, the next few at Waterloo, 
 and finished the article at Victoria some days later] 
 compelled, of course, to buy a paper to justify me staying’ 
 the time at each. 8 
 
 In your Review I would have been able to read not 
 only these two, but others, thus preventing kleptomania, 
 of which I alone am not guilty.

 Mr. Ben Tillett and Mr. Tom Mann. Leaders of 
 the Dockers’ Union who have acquired a foremost position 
 in the ranks of the new Labour Party. Mr. Mann is 
 besides a contributor to the magazines. 
 
 38 
 
 Mr. Charles Bradlaugh, M.P. Mr. Bradlaugh, who 
 has now completely recovered from his late illness, is the 
 representative of the old school of Liberalism, and 
 regards Socialism with abhorrence. The portrait is very 
 faithful, and the signature may be recognised in a 
 moment by all those who have ever corresponded with 
 the editor of the National Reformer or the junior member 
 for Northampton. 
 
 39 
 
 Mr. Robert Cuninghame Graham, M.P. Mr. 
 
 Cuninghame Graham, whose remarkable portrait seems 
 to imply that a man may acquire the nationality of his 
 wife—for he has much more the look of a Spaniard 
 than a Scotchman—has the distinction of being the 
 only English member of Parliament who has been in 
 prison for vindicating the right of free speech and 
 public meeting. The autograph which I publish was 
 taken from a letter written to me immediately on the 
 eve of his consignment to Pentonville, and is a very 
 legible specimen of his handwriting. Mr. Cuninghame 
 Graham for some time past has been the leading Parlia¬ 
 mentary representative of the Socialists.

 Her Majesty the Queen of Servia. Her Majesty 
 Queen Nathalie has from the first been one of the con¬ 
 stant readers of the Review of Reviews. Dating from 
 Belgrade, January 17th, one of the demoiselles d’honneur 
 of S.M. la Reine Nathalie wrote :— 
 
 It is with the greatest pleasure that Her Majesty the 
 Queen Nathalie enters herself as a subscriber to the new 
 Review, the more so because she has long regretted the 
 absence of any publication of that kind. The resumes 
 published at the end of the existing reviews are far too 
 brief to convey any precise idea of their contents. Her 
 Majesty charges me to avail myself of this opportunity to 
 tell you how much she has always been touched by the 
 sympathetic manner in which you have always main¬ 
 tained her just claims to her maternal rights. 
 
 The portrait which we publish was taken two years ago, 
 as the signature shows. Her Majesty did me the honour 
 to send me a new autograph portrait dated this year, but 
 unfortunately it arrived too late for reproduction.

 Her Majesty the Queen of Roumania. The

 Roumania, is from a photograph taken by a Welsh ph 
 grapher, Mr. Edge, of Llandudno, during the Eistedc 
 of 1890, which Her Majesty attended.

 Emile de Laveleye. M. de Laveleye is probably 
 most cosmopolitan of publicists. He applauded the « 
 ception of the Review from the first. He wrote to 
 before the first number appeared as follows 
 
 Your idea of publishing a monthly guide to the r 
 cipal magazines and reviews is excellent, and will en 
 those who are interested in art, science, or literatur* 
 find the articles they want to refer to without any c 
 culty. The men who work with brain and pen will b 
 you. What is wanted would consist of an accu 
 resume of the contents of an article, with occasional 
 tracts from the text, instead of simply a critical essa 
 review. It will entail hard work on you, but it will ligl: 
 the burdens of many. 
 
 His autograph on page 42 shows that his experience

 M. Emile Zola. My portrait is quite recent, and rep

 reduced his weight by a complete system of dieting. ] 
 Zola wrote to Mr. Smith saying, “I believe that t 
 projected publication of your universal Review 
 Reviews is based upon an excellent idea. We are t 
 ignorant in France, we have too much contempt for th

 . his ideas of conducting correspondence are also Eliza¬ 
 bethan. They accord better with the customs of a time 
 when you had to send your letter by a special messenger 
 at your own cost, to deliver it to your correspondent, who 
 might be at the other end of England, than to those of 
 an age which has witnessed the establishment of the 
 penny post at home, and will witness the establishment 
 of the penny post throughout the English-speaking world. 
 His portrait is reproduced from a photograph in which 
 he was taken with several other kindred spirits in South 
 Africa. The autograph speaks for itself.

 Mr. J. Henniker Heaton, M.P., Penny-Postmaster- 
 General Of the Empire. Mr. Henniker Heaton, who 
 appears to have been created for the affliction of Mr. 
 Raikes, and for the establishment of penny postage 
 throughout the English-speaking world, makes in his 
 autograph a characteristic appeal on behalf of the cause 
 which he has at heart. Through good report and ill, 
 he has carried aloft the standard of penny postage, 
 and his last mission to America is likely to result in the 
 realization of the project, although unfortunately the 
 initiative will be taken, not by his own country, but by 
 the American Republic.

 handsomely-illustrated volume on Picturesque India, 
 which has just been published, and is now on his way to 
 revisit the country he has described. Mr. Caine, one of the 
 most sturdy and independent of our political men, led the 
 opposition which this year defeated the Ministerial pro¬ 
 posal to compensate the publicans. He opposed the 
 Home Rule Bill when it involved the mutilation of the 
 Imperial Parliament, and he has returned to the Liberal 
 ranks now that the party has been finally purged from 
 that original sin.

 ambassador in the Diplomatic Service. The portrait of 
 the Russian Gladstone is very life-like.

 Count Tolstoi. Count Leon Tolstoi, who is regarded 
 by many as the first living novelist, is represented in this 
 portrait as he appeared two years ago attired in the dress 
 of a peasant. I have unfortunately not his autograph, 
 his correspondence being mostly carried on by the aid of 
 his daughter or his wife. 
 
 55 
 
 Countess Tatiana Tolstoi. His eldest daughter, 
 Countess Tatiana, was privately photographed in her 
 rocking chair in the garden at Yasnaya Poliana. It is 
 her autograph that I quote expressing her father’s 
 approval of the Review, which regularly reaches him 
 with several pages cut out. This is a very common 
 experience of our subscribers in Russia. No Review 
 seems to be more diligently scrutinized by the censor than 
 the Review of Reviews. It is detained an uncon¬ 
 scionable time in the post, and when it comes to 
 hand it is usually in a more or less mutilated condition. 
 I am not aware that a single copy has been allowed to 
 enter Russia, unless addressed to a privileged person, 
 without being smudged or scissored by this stupid censor. 
 
 57 
 
 Mr. John G. Whittier, the Quaker-Poet of America. 
 
 Mr. Whittier is now eighty-three years of age, but his in¬ 
 terest in the great causes which stirred his enthusiasm when 
 a youth is still unabated, and his letter, heartily approving 
 of the tone and spirit of my address ‘ ‘ To all English- 
 speaking Folks,” was one of the expressions of opinion 
 which I most prized among all those which reached me at 
 the founding of the Review. 
 
 59 
 
 Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. Dr. Oliver Wendell 
 Holmes is two years younger than Mr. Whittier, but, as 
 his papers in th e Atlantic Monthly prove, the octogenarian 
 has lost none of the facility and power which character¬ 
 ized him in his earlier prime. Before he saw the Review 
 he expressed his conviction that he looked forward to it 
 as being an indispensable guide and companion, and after¬ 
 wards in the June number of the Atlantic , after speaking 
 of the positively appalling amount of printed matter 
 secreted by that great gland of the civilized organism,

 the Press, he said that “the abstracts and reviews have 
 grown so numerous that it is hard to find time to master 
 their contents, that we are accustomed to look for analyses, 
 and at last we have placed before us a formidable looking 
 monthly, the Review of Reviews.” The importance 
 which Dr. Holmes attached to the Review of Reviews 
 is largely due to his favourite rule, namely, try to know 
 enough of a wide range of subjects so as to profit by the 
 conversation of intelligent persons of different callings 
 and various intellectual gifts and acquisitions.

 The Hon. James Russell Lowell. Mr. Russell Lowell, 
 whose poems, serious and humorous, are among the 
 most valuable contributions which America has made to 
 the literature of our race in the Victorian era, made a 
 suggestion with which unfortunately I could not comply. 
 Mr. Lowell, who has served as United States Minister to 
 Madrid and to the Court of St. James’s, and is one of the 
 cosmopolitan Americans of our time, suggested that I 
 should epitomize important articles from the leading 
 newspapers of the Continent. The Review, even though 
 enlarged, is much too small to enable me to grapple with 
 the daily press. 
 
 thanks for the Review :—“ It is a signal service to men 
 like myself, who wish to read everything and cannot, and 
 therefore require help in making a selection. I appre¬ 
 ciate it more and more.” 
 
 67 
 
 Rev. C. H. Spurgeon. Mr. Spurgeon heads the other 
 division of the Baptist body. I had an exceedingly 
 characteristic letter from him before the Review was 
 started. He intimated pretty plainly that, in his 
 opinion, the Review would live upon other magazines 
 as hawks live upon chickens. ‘ ‘ It was very good for the 
 hawk as long as the chickens lasted, but not so good for 
 the chickens.” He preferred to wait, he said, to see the 
 Review before he would say anything about it. When 
 he received the half-yearly volume, he published the 
 following in his Sword and Trowel of October : 
 
 This Review of Reviews is edited by a man who 
 understands his art. He gives a singularly clear view of 
 what has been done in the literary world during each 
 month; and he does this in a manner which not only 
 ensures him readers, but makes those readers eager for 
 more. There is a wonderful sixpenny-worth in the 
 monthly part, and the half-yearly volume is full of 
 entertaining matter. 
 
 62 
 
 Mr. Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain). Among the 
 benefactors of mankind are those who add to the innocent 
 merriment of the world, and among those Mr. Clemens 
 holds a high place. The autograph which I quote alludes 
 to the fact that I selected his “ A Yankee at the Court 
 of King Arthur,” as the Book of the Month for February, 
 a choice which brought down upon my head very severe 
 animadversions from not a few of my friends.

 General Joubert. General Joubert’s is one of the 
 few portraits which appears unaccompanied by an auto¬ 
 graph. General Joubert is an ex-President of the Trans¬ 
 vaal Republic, and was commander of the Boers at the 
 battle of Majuba Hill. He visited Europe this year. 
 His portrait represents him in the uniform of a Boer 
 General.

 M. Anton Rubinstein. The characteristic photograph 
 and autograph of the famous pianist was sent me from 
 St. Petersburg by Alexander McArthur, whose interest¬

 Sir Charles’s fear has fortunately been unfounded.

 Mr. George Meredith, Poet and Nov elist The

 successful reproduction so difficult that the portrait 
 is far from doing justice to the original. Mr. Meredith 
 has repeatedly written the kindest words of encourage¬ 
 ment to me in this enterprise, his first letter being as 
 follows :— 
 
 Your scheme of the magazine, which is to be an in¬ 
 dicator of the specially good things published monthly 
 or generally, promises usefulness. I am glad to think 
 that it will give the humbler publications here and there 
 a chance of winning attention, and so be helpful to 
 young writers of talent, or possibly genius, who do not 
 at first find the more noted periodicals hospitable to 
 them. Of course you know in the task you propose to 
 yourself extreme discretion is exacted. But editors, I 
 believe, may trust to you. A survey and abstract of 
 foreign publications, including critical French articles 
 on the stage and current literature, I should consider 
 particularly serviceable. It would be so to me. Here is 
 is part of it in autograph:—

 Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate. The portrait of 
 the Poet Laureate is one of the best that is issued by 
 the Cameron Studio. The autograph opposite is given as 
 I received it. It expresses, no doubt, Lord Tennyson’s 
 opinion ; but whether or no it is in Lord Tennyson’s 
 handwriting is a point upon which authorities differ. 
 One who is familiar with the handwriting of the family 
 thinks that it is written by Lady Tennyson, who is 
 frequently called upon to answer her husband’s letters. 
 
 75 
 
 Mr. William Morris. The autograph of the Poet and 
 Socialist, given on page 74, is taken from a letter written 
 to me as long ago as 1876 , when I was editor of the 
 Northern Echo, and we were all in the thick of the 
 Bulgarian atrocities agitation. Mr. William Morris 
 
 nominated me as one of the conveners of the St. James’s 
 Hall Conference on the Eastern question, and the letter 
 from which I select my autograph is very characteristic 
 of the man and of the time.

 follows :— 
 
 I cannot but think that such a guide to magazinedom 
 as you propose to establish would be extremely useful if 
 the editor could secure the services of a body of intelli¬ 
 gent and painstaking precis writers. We have too much 
 criticism already. I am not quite sure that extracts are 
 fair to authors—I mean in the sense that passages with¬ 
 out context often give a very wrong impression of the 
 writer’s meaning.

 Mr. Michael Davitt, editor of The Labour World, 
 ex- convict and ticket - of - leave man, and Father 
 of the Land League, was one of the first to hail the 
 establishment of the Review of Reviews. He wrote to 
 me as follows before the first number appeared :— 
 
 I like the idea of a “ Monthly Guide” to the monthlies 
 very much, and I feel sure it will be appreciated by the 
 ever-increasing appetite of the reading public. 
 
 If the monthly magazines of England, America, and 
 France could be brought within easy reach of the work¬ 
 ing classes, they would prove a great educational benefit 
 to those who are to be the power-wielders of the State 
 in the near future. The reviews which tempt the “ run- 
 and-read ” people of the day with their mental bill of fare 
 every month would make a small library, on mostly all 
 current topics, for those whose means will not allow for 
 the purchase of many books. I am in the habit of buying 
 reviews when they are a month or two old, when they 
 can be got for a few pence, and in this way I have got 
 sl several years’ collection of invaluable reading matter. 
 
 But to keep abreast with the active thought of the 
 hour there must be current study of the magazines, as 
 there is a more or less daily perusal of the press, if we 
 are to know what representative opinion and thinkers of 
 authority are saying on vital problems in Europe and in 
 America. To read or study all the monthlies is entirely 
 out of the question, so far as working men are concerned, 
 and, in fact, most men and women who have the duties 
 of daily life to perform. 
 
 Your “ Guide ” will therefore be a welcome assistance 
 of a most practicable kind to all who are anxious to get 
 at the gist of what the monthlies say upon the pressing 
 questions of the hour, and on science, literature, and art.

 The Hon. Patrick Egan, formerly treasurer of the 
 Land League, and now United States Minister at Chili, 
 is a friend of Mr. Davitt, and one of the best abused of all

 Mr. Kentaro Kaneko is a distinguished Japanese who 
 was over in Europe at the beginning of this year studying 
 constitutional systems. He wrote me as follows :— 
 
 Dear Mr. Stead,—I am much obliged to you for the 
 Reviews you sent me. Reading through I found that 
 your plan has just met what I was desiring for these 
 long years. After my return to Japan in 1878, I tried to 
 keep up my intellectual connection with Europe and 
 America. I ordered many periodicals to be sent to me, 
 but pressed by official work I had hardly time to read 
 them through. Now your Review does a preliminary 
 perusal for me—not myself alone, but for many Japanese 
 in the same condition—and informs me of the doings and 
 speakings of all my European and American friends on 
 the stage of the world’s literature.—With many thanks, 
 I remain very truly yours, Kextako Kaneko.

 The Review of Reviews is an admirable supple¬ 
 ment to our Eclectic Magazine and to Littell's Living 
 Age , and perhaps will be more popular and useful, because 
 more comprehensive in its scope, than those periodicals. 
 To a busy world, who have not leisure to peruse the cur¬ 
 rent monthlies, it will be especially welcome, as it will 
 serve as a mirror, reflecting the contemporary thought 
 of Great Britain and America. I wish you every success 
 in your undertaking.

 Review was proposed as follows :— 
 
 I think your idea of publishing a monthly guide to the 
 magazines an excellent one. Such an “ abstract and 
 brief chronicle ” of current literature will meet a widely 
 felt want, and it seems wonderful that no one should 
 have thought of it before. I am glad to observe that 
 you purpose giviDg extracts as well as summaries. There 
 is so much second-hand reading at the present day that 
 your new publication will fully justify its existence if it 
 serves to whet the literary appetite of the general reader 
 and enable him to choose for himself from among the 
 vast and varied supplies of intellectual food those sub¬ 
 jects which seem best fitted to his taste. As an attempt 
 to bring the knowledge of the best that is thought and 
 said in the world within the reach of those who are not 
 blessed with a superabundance of either time or money 
 your project deserves, and will, I hope, receive, the 
 widest support.

 useful.

 His Grace Dr. Walsh, Archbishop of Dublin. Dr. 
 
 Walsh wrote to me as follows before the Review 
 appeared :—- 
 
 I cannot hope to improve upon your way of putting it, 
 “There are already too many magazines, that is the 
 reason why another is coming out.” There could be no 
 better reason for bringing out another, that is, for bring¬ 
 ing out another such as you project. Your Review of 
 Reviews will be of priceless help to all who read, or who 
 vainly strive to make out time to read, for any useful 
 purpose, what is worth reading in the almost countless 
 monthlies and quarterlies that are now sent out from the 
 press. I may fairly claim to speak from personal ex¬ 
 perience as one of this latter class.

 Mr. Henry Labouchere, M.P. for Northampton and 
 Editor of “ Truth,” sent me the following encouraging 
 letter when the Review was started :— 
 
 I am glad to hear that you are starting the 
 “ monthly ” that you desire. Nothing can be more 
 desirable than that Englishmen should be made 
 acquainted with foreign opinion, for there are two sides 
 to most questions, and they are a good deal too much 
 inclined to fancy that their own side is the only one. 
 With every wish for your success, believe me yours 
 truly, 
 
 H. Labouchebe.

 to follow from abroad the literary and political move¬ 
 ments mirrored in your multitudinous periodicals than 
 such a Review of Reviews as you propose to publish.

 which divides the First Empire from the Third Republic, 
 his interest in contemporary politics and letters is as 
 keen as when he w r as the confidential secretary of 
 M. Thiers, or when he was Foreign Minister of France. 
 Few Frenchmen know England so well, and have studied

 Paris, Boulevard Flandrin 4, January 21, 1890. 
 
 Dear Sir,— In starting the Review of Reviews, 
 you had an excellent and practical idea, and I hope 
 that the publication will meet with all the success it 
 deserves. The Review of Reviews will certainly 
 prove a great boon to the public. The monthlies have 
 an immense advantage over the daily press. A daily is 
 composed of hurried improvisations; indeed, this is an 
 essential condition of its existence, as it comes out every 
 morning. Although many papers speak with great 
 talent, in a monthly review the articles are more solid, 
 for the writers have more time for reflection and leisure 
 to complete their work. I do not see all the reviews—far 
 from it; but I see a good many, and I can say without 
 hesitation that among their contents we may often find 
 most valuable documents and information. 
 
 Newspapers announce current events as they occur, 
 day by day; reviews sum up and judge all that has gone 
 on since they last appeared. Again, the questions they 
 often have occasion to treat of are most important; a daily 
 paper has to treat grave subjects lightly and as seldom 
 as possible. This proves the great value of monthly 
 reviews, the more so that, as this class of publication 
 exists all over the world, they conduce greatly to the 
 good of the public. The Review of Reviews will con¬ 
 dense and survey, as its name implies, all the most 
 serious and interesting articles appearing in the monthly 
 publications of the Old and New Worlds. 
 
 I am happy to join my sincerest congratulations to 
 those which you have received from so many eminent 
 people Your first number is a very complete and work¬ 
 manlike production. 
 
 Votre devout, 
 
 B. St. Hilaire.

 The Rev. Dr. H. Hanna, of Belfast, is one of the 
 genuine forces of contemporary Ireland. He is an 
 Orangeman of the fighting sort, but he would never 
 consent to the dismemberment of his native country, 
 even if Home Rule were established to-morrow. When 
 the Review was started he wrote to me as follows :— 
 
 Although far from approving of your politics and 
 some methods of your public work, as you well know, I 
 receive with satisfaction the intimation you send me of 
 a proposed eclectic review. The idea is admirable, and 
 embodied in fact will be a great boon to busy men who 
 would like to keep in view the various phases of the 
 multiform thought of the age. I will gladly become a 
 subscriber to such a compendium of the high-class 
 periodicals as you contemplate. And although I differ 
 from you in many things, I do not hesitate to say that I 
 do not know any man more likely than yourself success¬ 
 fully to accomplish such a project. Such an effort 
 deserves to succeed. 
 
 122 
 
 Professor Henry Drummond, the author of “Natural 
 Law in the Spiritual World,” whose little paper on 
 “The Greatest Thing in the World ” has obtained an 
 almost unprecedented circulation, wrote me as follows 
 before starting the Review :— 
 
 Anything is better than the present bewilderment. No 
 man can be loyal to more than half a dozen magazines 
 per month, and the hurried prospecting through the 
 remaining hundred is the most sterile and demoralising 
 thing in the world. If anyone will edit the editors for 
 us he will vastly relieve the literary conscience, and pre¬ 
 vent unnumbered sins of omission and commission. 
 America has already made a modest move in this direc¬ 
 tion, and I know nothing more needed here than such an 
 organ for the magazines as is proposed, an organ which 
 will guide men to what they contain, provide samples of 
 the best work, and state the thesis of each important 
 article in such form and at such length as may be con¬ 
 sistent with the intellectual rights of the author and the 
 interests of the publishers. The Pall Mall Gazette annoys 
 its readers continually by breaking off its descriptive 
 articles just when one wants to know more, and if you 
 extend what I believe to be your secret to your new 
 venture, it will secure rather than discourage an appeal 
 to the original, and so avert the lawful indignation of the 
 Condensed. 
 
 Boiled magazine, as usually served, is an insult both to 
 author and reader, but with really high-class cooking the 
 magazine of magazines ought to give us both “good 
 nutrition and an appetite.” 
 
 123 
 
 The Rev. Prof. Fairbairn, of Mansfield College, 
 Oxford, may be regarded as the leading exponent of 
 Congregationalism in contemporary literature. He wrote 
 me as follows :—- 
 
 Your proposal seems to me excellent. When we con¬ 
 sider the value of many of the articles contributed to 
 magazines, reviews, and other journals, and then the 
 enormous number of these, nothing could be more help¬ 
 ful, both to special students and general readers, than a 
 careful summary of the contents of such journals, and a 
 brief critical estimate of the value of special articles. 
 While I say this frankly and emphatically, let me also 
 add that the work would need to be well done, and be 
 most comprehensive in its range. 
 
 124 
 
 Madame Blavatsky, the prophetess and seer of the 
 Theosophical Society, author of “Isis Unveiled” and 
 “The Secret Doctrine,” and many another volume on 
 occult lore, has from the first extended a warm support to 
 the Review. 
 
 125 
 
 Mrs. Annie Besant, Member of the London Schoo 
 Board, and at one time the high priestess of militant 
 secularism, has of late become a shining light among 
 the Theosophists. She was interested in occultism, 
 and I asked her to review for the Pall Mall Gazette 
 Madame Blavatsky’s “Secret Doctrine.” The autograph 
 which I quote is from a letter written while she was 
 in the throes of that remarkable book. Mrs. Besant is 
 one of the most notable women of our time. Her 
 character and energy would have enabled her to rise to 
 one of the highest positions in the State if she had been 
 a man. As it is, being a woman, and having dared to 
 stand alone in unpopular causes, I had some difficulty in 
 inducing my late partner to consent to the appearance of 
 the following brief little letter among those of states¬ 
 men, men of letters, and teachers of religion, with which 
 I prefaced the first number of the Review of Reviews :— 
 
 I cordially wish success to your venture. If it be 
 carried out on the lines proposed, it will be invaluable to 
 busy people like myself. 
 
 126 
 
 Madame Adam (Juliette Lambert), widow of the 
 Senator M. Edmond Adam, is editress of the Nouvelle 
 Berne, and queen of an influential literar} r salon in Paris. 
 She wrote me as follows before the Review was started:—■ 
 
 My dear Colleague,—A h, those English I They 
 like doing things on a grand scale. You are going to do 
 your thing on a grand scale, Mr. Stead. 
 
 But will you not at the same time be obliging your 
 contemporaries to become too learned ? What will be¬ 
 come of them when their heads are forced to contain 
 the whole world ? 
 
 I, for my part, wish you luck, for La Nouvelle Revue , 
 in common with all the others, will derive great profit 
 from your luminous idea. 
 
 The portrait is taken from an etching, which is, however, 
 far from doing justice to the original.

 Marie Bashkirtseff, Russian painter. Few books at 
 the beginning of the year created so much impression 
 in England and America as the journals of Marie 
 Bashkirtseff. I give her portrait and autograph from 
 Messrs. Cassell’s edition of her journal, Miss Mathilde 
 Blind’s translation, in memory of a singularly gifted child, 
 who died, after living twenty-four years, before she 
 became a woman. The portrait shows her at the age of 
 fourteen.

 Mr. Edward T. Cook, my successor in the editorship

 Mr. T. W. Reid, editor of the Speaker, and manager 
 of the enormous business of Messrs. Cassell. This was

 The Review of Reviews, the offspring of one of the 
 very ablest journalists of the century—a man rich in 
 fertility of resource, in originality, in inventiveness; 
 richer still, if that be possible, in the strength and 
 courage of his convictions—comes to break the uni¬ 
 formity of our magazine literature. ... We can 
 only express the hope that this new Review may have a 
 long and prosperous career, and may not fail in the 
 mission proclaimed by its Editor—the knitting together 
 of all the communities throughout the world which 
 speak the English tongue.

 Mr. H. W. Massingham, Editor of the “ Star ” When

 his guineas Mr. Massingham succeeded him in the

 The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, who may be regarded 
 as a kind of permanent unofficial president of Wesleyanism 
 in England, is the founder of the West London Mission 
 and the editor of the Methodist Times. When the Review 
 was projected he wrote as follows :— 
 
 It seems to me that your project, if successfully carried 
 out, will meet a great want, and be of much public ser¬ 
 
 vice, both to those who are too busy to search themselves 
 for the most important articles, and for those who, if 
 they have leisure, may frequently need guidance in the 
 selection of what they will read out of the mass of litera¬ 
 ture that is now continually poured forth from the press.

 Mr. George Kennan, who travelled through Siberia

 return from his last journey to Siberia.

 Comte de Mun. In the dreary waste of French 
 politics there stand forth so few heroic figures that it is 
 a welcome relief for the eye to rest on the form of 
 Comte de Mun, that valiant soldier of the Crown and 
 of the Church, who constantly regards both Crown and 
 Church from the point of view of one who cares for the 
 common people. He is a kind of younger and secular 
 Cardinal Manning, whose sphere is the parliamentary 1 
 not the ecclesiastical. The Comte de Mun is also one of 
 the most eloquent, if not the most eloquent, of living 
 Frenchmen.

 New York, January 21st, 1890. 
 
 Dear Mr. Stead, —The idea of a Review of our 
 numerous Reviews strikes one at once as most desirable, 
 and one wonders why it has not been thought of before. 
 
 Its usefulness depends, of course, upon the ability of 
 the editor to distinguish the wheat from the chaff, and 
 no one should excel you in this. 
 
 I shall watch your winnowing with deep interest.— 
 Truly yours, 
 
 Mr. Thomas Burt, M P. 
 
 The Review of Reviews idea is a capital one, anc 
 I have no doubt that in your vigorous hands it will be 
 carried to success. Working men who take an interesl 
 in our high-class periodicals are increasing, and it will be 
 a great boon to make such literature more accessible tc 
 them. As an old friend I will follow your career with 
 keen interest for many years, and your new venture has 
 my heartiest benediction. 
 
 WELCOMES FROM NEAR AND AFAR. 
 
 The following extracts from correspondence received from the various countries in which English-speaking 
 men and women have their home, show as much as anything else how great a need has been supplied by the 
 establishment of the Review of Reviews. 
 
 From the Very Far West. 
 
 The Rector of Miles City, in Montana, wrote to me 
 as follows :— 
 
 A few days ago I came across your Review of 
 Reviews. I was visiting a log cabin in this far Western 
 country where a farmer had made a home for himself 
 and family. He had a few books, but what he valued 
 most he told me was your monthly Review. Every 
 month it gave him just what he wanted in the way of 
 literary information. He told me where he got it, and I 
 at once ordered it from the Critic Company, New York. 
 
 I value the Review very highly ; in fact could not do 
 without it now at all. I write this to let you know how 
 your efforts have been appreciated even in this “ Far 
 West.” 
 
 A Britisher from out West writes : — 
 
 The article on the “Progress of the World” supplies 
 what many here have long wanted and looked for, and, 
 as my brother writes me from England, “ is itself worth 
 the price of the mag. sometimes over, and affords the 
 basis of a sound knowledge of our times.” I shall file 
 the Review for reference. The whole tenor of your 
 article touches a sympathetic chord in me, and doubtless 
 I am but one of many living away from the Old Country 
 and other than English rule, who remain heart and soul 
 Englishmen, and welcome everything that tends to the 
 consolidation of the Empire and the English-speaking 
 peoples. 
 
 Another:— 
 
 Your magazine has the brightest outlook window in 
 Christendom for busy people who wish to know what is 
 going on in the great world. 
 
 Another correspondent in New South Wales :—• 
 
 The duties of ordinary humble life leave so little time 
 to be devoted to literature, that it is only in its condensed 
 form that we can partake of it. Therefore we can per¬ 
 haps appreciate the more highly your Review than 
 those who have leisure. In the Colonies few have the 
 opportunity of obtaining the various published expres¬ 
 sions of opinion of the world’s deepest thinkers, as they 
 appear from time to time, the loss of which many of us 
 feel. Now, however, thanks, a thousand thanks to you, 
 even in the Antipodes we are now face to face and in 
 tender touch with them. 
 
 From Far Cathay. 
 
 A young clerk in Shanghai writes :—• 
 
 The realization of an ideal resume has been accom¬ 
 plished, and I hasten at this late hour to thank you for¬ 
 giving to us, the young working clerks and seekers after 
 knowledge in this far-off corner of the world, a medium 
 where we can gather the best of everything. 
 
 From the Heart of an Indian Jungle. 
 
 The son of an old Anglo-Indian General writes :— 
 
 “Thanks for the REViEW r . Here in the heart of an 
 Indian jungle it made me feel that I was in the midst 
 of London.” . " / ' 
 
 “The Review of Review’s,” w’rites a dweller in a 
 lonely outpost, ‘ ‘ has made me feel that I w’as brought | 
 closer to the heart of the great world.” 
 
 From the Antipodes. 
 
 A correspondent in Sydney writes :—• 
 
 The Review of Reviews has found its way across 
 the seas to this remote but busy part of the civilised 
 world, where it is being received with much favour, by 
 reason of the information afforded concerning the con¬ 
 tents of the leading periodicals, which otherwise would 
 remain unknown to us. This will explain our interest in 
 the success of your Review of Reviews, each number 
 of which is as welcome to us as are the flow’ers in May 
 in the dear old country of our fathers. 
 
 From a Mission Station in New Guinea. 
 
 The Rev. W. G. Lawes writes to me from Port 
 Mweslze, British New Guinea :— 
 
 “Your new enterprize is rich in benefit and help to 
 men, who, like myself, are far away from the hub of the 
 world. My sincere “ Thank you ” is, I am sure, the 
 expression of the thought and desire of hundreds of 
 Msssionaries throughout the w’orld. If your new Mag¬ 
 azine had been written and compiled expressly for us it 
 could not have been more suitable to our need.”

Welcomes from Near and Afar „ 
 
 From the Diamond Fields. 
 
 A correspondent writes: — 
 
 I take great interest in the Review of Reviews. The 
 magazine is certainly a boon to anyone residing in the 
 Colonies—for most of the magazines are unobtainable in 
 Kimberley for purchase, though they can always be read 
 at the library. 
 
 “Republic,” St. Louis, Feb. 1st, 1890. 
 
 To every thinking man who wishes to keep abreast of: 
 his times, the new monthly ought to prove very accept¬ 
 able. By taking one, two, or even three of the best 
 magazines you can follow some few lines of thought by 
 noted thinkers, but the Review of Reviews is a table 
 spread with delicacies from them all. 
 
 From the Cape of Good Hope. 
 
 A journalist at Cape Town writes congratulating me 
 on the instantaneous way the Review has leapt into 
 success and popularity. I heard a couple of priests dis¬ 
 cussing it in a railway carriage last night, and they 
 agreed, as everybody must, that it is a “ marvellous six- 
 pennorth.” 
 
 From Natal. 
 
 A lady writes from Natal:— 
 
 A friend in England has just sent me the whole six 
 numbers, and 1 can’t tell you how delighted we are with 
 it. It is the very thing we want and read out here. My 
 husband is a farmer, and we live in, I think, quite the 
 most out-of-the-way corner of Natal. We are not rich 
 people by any means, so you will understand what a 
 great pleasure your new magazine will be to us, enabling 
 as to keep abreast of what goes on at home, at little 
 expense. Besides, you give all the cream, and we have 
 not got the time even if we had the means to do the 
 skimming for ourselves. 
 
 Following these extracts from private correspondence 
 I give the following notices from the press. 
 
 M- Paul Leroi, in the Couvviev cle VA/rt, says :— 
 
 Of all the reviews started this year in different coun¬ 
 tries not one has been conceived on a plan so original 
 and at the same time so practical as that adopted by 
 Mr. W. T. Stead. Our confrere, who is a man composed 
 of intellect, wit, perception, and perseverance, has set 
 forth his idea in a programme, the spirit of which only 
 equals its clearness. 
 
 Open the first volume of the Review of Reviews, and 
 you will be forced to admit that he has not only sur¬ 
 passed all, but very highly surpassed them ; and that the 
 review, if it is of service to the thinker, is useful beyond 
 comparison even to those who are humbler, those whom 
 the founder has from the beginning principally had in 
 view. This is a social mission worthy of the deepest sym¬ 
 pathy, and commanding respect. Mr. W. T. Stead accom¬ 
 plishes it with rare talent and great breadth of mind. 
 His Review costs an extremely small price. It abounds, 
 besides, in precious documents, which the subscribers 
 had no right at all to expect according to the programme, 
 fac similes of autographs, portraits, geographical maps, 
 and even reproductions of works of art. Never has 
 success been more completely justified. We congratulate 
 our distinguished confrere warmly. This is only the 
 echo of all those who read it. 
 
 “Argonaut,” San Francisco, Sept, 8th, 1890. 
 
 Mr. Stead has carried out his ingenious plan in a way 
 to make the Review of Reviews the time-saving and 
 labour-saving device it was intended to be. 
 
 The Union Signal, Chicago, the organ of the 
 W.C.T.U. 
 
 Wilson’s Photographic Magazine, Sept. 20th, 
 
 says:— 
 
 The Review of Reviews may be unhesitatingly 
 pronounced to be the best and cheapest magazine in the 
 world. American readers are to be congratulated upon 
 its publication in this country, and we would personally 
 urge all our readers to obtain a copy for themselves, 
 after which we feel sure that they will say, as we our¬ 
 selves say, “ It is absolutely indispensable, and we must 
 have it at any price.” 
 
 Bringing up the rear I give the comments of the papers 
 at home. 
 
 The agreement of organs of the most opposite views in 
 commending the Review of Reviews is almost un¬ 
 precedented. “Here,” says the St. James's Gazette , 
 “ for a modest ‘ tanner ’ we may have the cream of all 
 the half-crown and the shilling monthlies ; a fair con¬ 
 spectus of the best magazine literature of the month.” 
 In this, for once, it is entirely at one with the Star, which 
 says: “This is condensed culture. It is the swiftest, 
 deftest, and most complete achievement of sub-editing 
 we have ever seen. The Review of Reviews is a six¬ 
 penny poor and busy man’s guide to monthly literature.” 
 As it is with the dailies, so it is with the weeklies. The 
 Tablet, the Catholic organ, says that the Review has a 
 ‘ ‘ programme as wide and bold, and a faith as robust, as 
 ever inspired an editor.” The ■National Reformer, the 
 secularist weekly, declares That “ this very original ven¬ 
 ture deserves to be crowned with complete success ” ; and 
 a critic in the ultra-Conservative journal, England, which 
 has as its mission the trampling under foot of secularism, 
 writes :—• 
 
 Although I at first carped at the idea, as a hard-worked 
 journalist ... I am induced to say that it comes as a 
 boon and a blessing to men, this Review of Reviews, 
 to us knights of the pen. 
 
 William T. Stead has found unbroken ground at the 
 very centre of the field of journalism upon which to 
 plant his Review of Reviews. The first issue, bearing 
 the date of the new year, is a rich product. In it the 
 monthly harvest of the magazines is threshed and 
 winnowed for the busy reader. Among its many good 
 features is a table giving the contents of the leading 
 reviews of both continents, followed by brief digests of 
 the best articles in the best magazines. The object of 
 the new publication is not altogether to furnish an 
 “ olla podrida” of current literature, but rather to create 
 a common centre for inter-communication and diffusion 
 of the truest thoughts of the truest thinkers.

Opinions of the London Press. 
 
 Here is a condensed review of the reviews of the 
 Review of Reviews :— 
 
 The Daily Chronicle says of our first number:—Its 
 chief object', that of providing a suitable compendium 
 for the other magazines, is well carried out. 
 
 The Morning Post says :—The latest of monthly pub¬ 
 lications is likely to be of considerable value in an age 
 when few have time to read the leading articles in the 
 magazines, and the majority have neither the time nor 
 the opportunity. 
 
 The Daily Graphic finds the Review “ bristles with 
 such practical suggestions as might have been expected 
 from the electrical nature of its editor *’! 
 
 The disconsolate Globe even dreads that our success 
 will be so gieat in this hurried and laborious age that 
 “ nobody in the future wall be at the pains to write at 
 large in order that some expert may boil it down ”! 
 
 The Publishers' Circular says that those who have 
 no time to read the monthly serials will find a good 
 compendium in this new organ. 
 
 I must omit scores of notices, but here are a few from 
 the weekly London papers :— 
 
 The Sunday Times says :—The condensed summaries, 
 the indices, and all such things are admirable, and 
 deserve our thanks. . . . It is a new and a far 
 
 higher thing that the editorial scissors should be 
 turned into a crusader’s sword, the paste into cement 
 for a spiritual city. 
 
 Reynolds' thinks that the first number is a sample of 
 • editing which it w T ould be difficult to surpass. It con¬ 
 tains the cream of all the great magazines at home and 
 abroad, with other attractions, which make it one of the 
 . best sixpennyworths to be had. 
 
 Lloyd's says it presents a remarkably good sixpenny- 
 worth of reading matter. The Mirror adds that this Is 
 so, and therefore it ought to go. 
 
 The City Press exclaims :—Capital value for money is 
 given in the Review of Reviews. In no case, 
 however, is the summary sufficiently full to render it 
 .unnecessary for anyone to get the journal quoted and 
 read for himself. It is, as is everything for which Mr. 
 Stead is responsible, capitally done. 
 
 The Penny Illustrated saysThe editor certainly has 
 done the sub-editorial part of a journalist’s business 
 superbly for the Review of Reviews. . . A 
 thumping sixpennyworth at any rate. 
 
 TheL Church Review says:—There is an immense deal 
 of interesting matter, admirably arranged and selected. 
 
 The Christian World declares:—This number is ex¬ 
 tremely interesting, gives full value for the money, and 
 need not alarm the publishers of other magazines. 
 
 The Methodist Times says:—That from beginning to 
 end it is eminently readable and interesting. Whatever 
 it may become, we are quite sure it will never be dull. 
 The peril of the venture will be its success. 
 
 The Methodist Recorder thinks the Review invaluable 
 as a w T ork of reference if it were not too interesting. It 
 is a marvellous production, of a size that is already por¬ 
 tentous, and, moreover, of perfectly bewildering interest. 
 We tried to use it as a book of reference, but no sooner 
 did our eyes light on a paragraph than we were com¬ 
 pelled to read. 
 
 Yet the Weekly Dispatch delivers itself of this amazing 
 judgment:—Mr. Stead calmly supersedes all the Churches, 
 and even the Scriptures; if you seek salvation, you can 
 get it only by buying the Review of Reviews. Take 
 Ignatius Loyola, knead him well with the Mahdi, and 
 flavour the compound with General Booth, and even then 
 you will get nothing like the audacity of Mr. Stead. 
 
 The British Weekly thinks the Review of Reviews 
 is a marvel of energy and skill. It is an excellent idea 
 well carried out. It ought to command a very large 
 circulation, and to take a firm position. 
 
 The Nonconformist says :—It is a very interesting and 
 varied monthly, which does not trench unduly on copy¬ 
 right claims. 
 
 The Christian Commonwealth says:—The Review 
 meets a want, and will be a success. 
 
 The Literary World thinks that as a free advertise¬ 
 ment of the contents of the various magazines, it should 
 be welcomed by magazine proprietors. 
 
 The Political W r orld says:—It is full to overflowing of 
 good things. 
 
 The Catholic Times is sure that the Review has come 
 to stay, and is destined to have a prosperous and bril¬ 
 liant career. 
 
 The Jewish W T orld thinks it a very happy thought, and 
 entirely original. It is within most people’s purse, and 
 the crystallized wisdom of many minds on many topics 
 is offered therein. 
 
 The Inquirer says:—It is a typical product of the age. 
 To professional readers and writers it should be most 
 helpful. 
 
 The Family Churchman recommends every young man 
 to buy a copy. 
 
 The Bible Christian Magazine says :—The Review is 
 a magnificent sixpennyworth. The usual sneers are, as 
 usual, wide of the mark. The very publishers who have 
 taken alarm at his scheme will soon discover it to be a 
 valuable advertisement for their publications. 
 
 The Phonetic Journal says:—Never surely was there 
 an era when such a publication was more needed, if the 
 average Englishman is to be at all posted up in the 
 ever-growing literary activity of the period at home and 
 abroad. 
 
 Of the London weeklies which speak for the Colonies, 
 the Home and Colonial Mail says:—It is a very smart 
 piece of journalistic work. 
 
 South Africa says:—We doubt not that the Review 
 OF Reviews will make a name for itself in South Africa 
 as in other parts of the world. We cordially wish Mr. 
 Stead success in his plucky and ingenious enterprise. 
 
 The Colonies a/nd India is good enough to predict that 
 the new magazine will find its way far beyond the cities, 
 far beyond the big centres of English-speaking Europe, 
 Asia, Africa, America, and the Australasian Colonies, into 
 the distant townships, the back-blocks, and the wilds 
 which the editor lays himself out to reach. Few, we take 
 it, v ill be found to question either Mr. Stead’s sincerity 
 or his patriotism, and as few will be found to doubt his 
 ability to creditably fulfil the task he has now set 
 himself. 
 
 The European Mail says:—The Review has all the 
 elements of success and has made an excellent start.

Opinions of the Provincial Press. 
 
 The Provincial Press. 
 
 The Birmingham Post says that the Review has 
 distinctly struck out a new and useful line. . . . Such a 
 publication will prove extremely useful, and we wish it 
 abundant success. 
 
 The Birmingham Gazette says that the Review plunges 
 into the water with the boisterous confidence which 
 disdains thought of a hereafter or even of a to-morrow. 
 There is nothing vague or uncertain about the new 
 periodical. 
 
 The Nottingham Express says the first number of the 
 Review of Reviews produces a very favourable impres¬ 
 sion, bearing traces, as it does on every page, how 
 admirably the editor has carried out a happy and original 
 idea. 
 
 The Leicester Daily Post thinks that this Review of 
 Reviews must fill a great and increasing gap in our con¬ 
 temporary literature, and that, evidently, with both 
 enterprise and ability. 
 
 The St. Helens Newspaper thinks that the Review 
 will be by far the most valuable publication in English 
 literature. The reviews are excellently done, and are of 
 surpassing usefulness. 
 
 The South Wales Daily News is very kind. Speaking 
 of the Review of Reviews, it says It is a magazine 
 with a mission. It has the lofty character which Peter 
 the Hermit may be supposed to have adopted in preach¬ 
 ing the Crusades . . . The editor of the Review 
 
 is none the worse for his exalted view of his mission. 
 . . . A declaration which would have smacked more 
 
 of bombast from many men must be taken seriously 
 from the lips of Mr. Stead. He has earned the right to 
 clothe his aim in glowing words. 
 
 The Western Mail (Cardiff) says:—It is practically 
 certain that the “ milking ” process as carried out by Mr. 
 Stead will be leniently regarded by the general public, 
 who largely benefit therefrom. 
 
 The Sussex Daily News says the Review is much 
 better than any one dreamed it would be. It is pro¬ 
 bably the most comprehensive sixpennyworth of litera¬ 
 ture the world has ever seen. In mere precis writing 
 the Review is the smartest thing to be found anywhere 
 just now. 
 
 The Hampshire Advertiser tells its readers that both 
 time and money are saved by being thus able to obtain 
 the best information from the best sources on the best 
 subjects in such a compendious form. If the other 
 Reviews and Magazines do not object, this Review 
 must be a success. 
 
 The Hampshire Telegraph says the Review will be of 
 infinite service to those who wish to be well informed, 
 but have not time for extensive reading. 
 
 The Ventnor Gazette says we have rarely had more 
 pleasure in calling attention to a want met, and to a 
 good sixpennyworth, stimulating] and helpful both 
 mentally and spiritually. 
 
 Yorkshire. 
 
 In Yorkshire the Review has attracted much attention. 
 
 In a leading article, 
 
 The Leeds Mercury discussed our programme at length, 
 and pointed out that though the public owed the latest 
 addition to the periodicals of our time to the inventive 
 genius and inexhaustible energy of the editor it may 
 nevertheless be regarded as the outcome of a process of 
 evolution. 
 
 In an even longer leading article, 
 
 The Sheffield and Rotherham Independent asserts that 
 decidedly the most humorous thing out of Bedlam is 
 Mr. Stead’s new venture. There are only two useful 
 things in this otherwise unnecessary periodical, the chief 
 of these is the index to periodicals. 
 
 The Eastern Morning News , on the other hand, declares 
 that it is a great invention for economising time and 
 energy ; it probably has a future before it. . . . It is 
 
 not only sure to be readable, but it is also sufficiently 
 cleared from a charge of plagiarism. 
 
 The Bradford Observer says:—The new magazine is at 
 once a review of reviews, a summary of reviews, an index 
 to reviews, and a review itself. The order is a large one, 
 but the Observer is kind enough to say “if it can be 
 executed, Mr. Stead is about as likely as any man to be 
 the executant. For half a dozen years no single figure 
 has been more conspicuous in the field of daily journalism, 
 nor had greater individual effect. We must remember 
 this much if we are to be fair to this latest development 
 of his activity, and to believe that his conception, large 
 as it is, will not be allowed to fail for lack of ability or 
 enthusiasm.” 
 
 The York Herald regards the Review of Reviews as. 
 one of the most useful of the monthlies. 
 
 Lancashire. 
 
 From Lancashire I received a sheaf of notices :— 
 
 The Liverpool Post says One is safe in saying that 
 the Review of Reviews has all the signs premonitory 
 to long life and vigour. ... As for the contents of the 
 Review, they can hardly be otherwise than good, seeing 
 that they are the choicest morsels of the best literary 
 fare the month provides. 
 
 The Liverpool Courier thinks the selection in the first 
 number is judicious and interesting to the highest 
 degree. . . . Furthermore, it is of sufficiently compre¬ 
 hensive character to commend it to a large number of 
 readers, while it indicates a programme of undoubted 
 usefulness. 
 
 The Manchester Guardicm says :—Mr. Stead’s Review 
 makes a good start. . . . That there is room for a 
 careful and well-edited Review of Reviews we do not 
 doubt. 
 
 The Manchester Examiner says briefly that the able- 
 staff who are doing the work of this journal have 
 succeeded to a remarkable degree. 
 
 The Preston Guardian : —The Review of Reviews 
 is a sort of storehouse of literary pemmican. It is to be 
 hoped that its readers will be spared the pangs of mental 
 indigestion. 
 
 The Lancashire Post expected much, and is in no way 
 disappointed. 
 
 The Blachburn Express , in an amusing article, describes 
 Mr. Stead sitting, self-crowned, as it were, the censor of 
 censors and the critic of the critics of his time. 
 
 The Bolton Guardian says :—Mr. Stead’s summaries 
 are admirably done; his indices of new books and 
 catalogues of magazine articles comprehensive and 
 convenient. 
 
 The Cheshire Chronicle :^A multum inparvo in very 
 truth. The cream of the magazines and lively criticisms, 
 containing a world of meaning, is given, while the subjects 
 dealt with are delightfully various. 
 
 [ 157 
 
Opinions of the Provincial Press. 
 
 The North Country. 
 
 My old paper, the Northern Echo , of Darlington, which 
 I edited for nine years, says of my new venture:—It is 
 the largest sixpenn’orth of print yet produced by the 
 periodical press. . . . His objects are characteristic; they 
 embody a high ideal, they exhibit clear outlook as to 
 methods. . . . We have no hesitation in saying that the 
 Review of Reviews will be read and relished, and that 
 those eminent public men who encouraged Mr. Stead to 
 undertake the work will hear their forecast echoed back 
 to them in words of welcome. 
 
 The Durham Chronicle declares that if the world of 
 to-day must have sackfuls of reviews, it must have some 
 one to boil them down. Judging from his first number. 
 Mr. Stead seems to be an excellent cook, and his “ hash ” 
 is most delectable. 
 
 All blie Newcastle papers speak warmly of the Review, 
 even the Chronicle , with whom I waged many a fight in 
 days gone by. 
 
 The Newcastle Leader praises the Review. For pur¬ 
 pose, for clear speech, and for thoroughly effective crafts¬ 
 manship, the Review is a thoroughly business-like 
 production. . . . The publishers of the reviews who 
 
 took alarm at the scheme ought by this time to see how 
 foolish were their fears. It will help rather than hinder 
 them. Certainly the gratis advertisements given them are 
 beyond anything they have ever had offered them before. 
 
 The Newcastle Daily Journal thinks there are features 
 in the Review which make up a self-assumption that 
 almost attains to genius. But it admits that Mr. Stead 
 has produced a really interesting, and in some respects 
 original, magazine, not. a single page of which can be 
 fairly described as dull. 
 
 The Scotch Press. 
 
 North of the Tweed the chorus of welcome rolls almost 
 unbroken. 
 
 The Scotsman says:—The cream of these (the maga¬ 
 zines) is briefly indicated by description and quotation 
 . . . whetting the appetite for further information. . . . 
 It has other information of a kindred nature, and alto¬ 
 gether is a remarkable sixpenceworth. ... If the high 
 promise of the January number is maintained, there can 
 be little doubt that this new venture will speedily find a 
 field for itself commensurate with its merits. 
 
 The Glasgow Herald :—It is a good idea to present the 
 cream of each month’s periodical literature, and a sort of 
 synopsis of the whole. In this first number the reviews 
 are very nearly what they ought to be. 
 
 The Scottish Leader: —It shows us that Mr. Stead 
 possesses to perfection the by no means common power 
 of imparting individuality to the scissors and the paste- 
 pot. The Review of Reviews promises to be a highly 
 useful index of the journalistic literature of the month. 
 He [Mr. Stead] is a kind of journalistic Ramdass, with 
 fire enough in his belly, or, at least, the faith in it, to 
 burn up all the sins of Anglo-Saxondom. 
 
 The Elgin Courant: —We predict for Mr. Stead’s new 
 venture a complete and well-merited success. . . . 
 Mr. Stead has managed to combine in striking harmony 
 the leading qualities of the daily press with the more 
 dignified productions of periodical literature. 
 
 The Christian Leader of Glasgow asserts that no fair- 
 minded reader can rise from the perusal of the first 
 number without feeling that it is an addition to our 
 periodical literature of the very highest practical value, 
 and that a bold and novel conception has been worked 
 out with consummate ability. Mr. Stead, with keen in¬ 
 sight, perceived what is a growing need of our crowded 
 age ; with practical sagacity he has hit upon the very 
 best method of meeting the want ; and by his new ex¬ 
 periment he will make us all his debtors. 
 
 The Irish Papers 
 
 In Ireland, Belfast and Dublin are for once at one. 
 
 The Freeman's Journal says:—The purpose of the 
 Review of Reviews has been cavilled at, and its pros¬ 
 pects doubted in advance, but it may be said that Mr. 
 Stead has breathed into it that vitalising force, that 
 vivid actuality which, whatever view may be taken of 
 his opinions and objects, has been the secret of his great 
 power and ability as a journalist. 
 
 The Dublin Telegraph says:—Mr. W. T. Stead’s new 
 publication, which is a condensed literary extract or 
 gold-mining process, bears the stamp of a born journalist. 
 
 The Lrish Times says :—The Irish public . . . will 
 recognise at a glance that it has been got out with consi¬ 
 derable expedition, and is edited with much literary skill. 
 
 The Belfast Morning News: —We are enabled to state, 
 after an examination of its wonderfully varied bill of 
 contents, that it bids fair to become the most popular 
 monthly. 
 
 The Cork Constitution: —It possesses most interesting 
 features, which are both novel and pleasing. 
 
 The Cork Daily Herald :—We have rarely seen a more 
 interesting publication than Mr. Stead’s first number 
 . . . The Review of Reviews is bound to have a 
 tremendous circulation, and we think that, far from in¬ 
 juring the other magazines, it will increase their sale 
 according to their merits.

 An exquisite blending—So harmonious in combination—So 
 evenly balanced—So delicately toned—A flavour so rare—So 
 tantalisingly pleasant on the palate—Possessing character so 
 novel and so entirely its own, that it may fairly claim the very 
 first place among high-class stimulants. Clever judges pro¬ 
 nounce it “unique and unrivalled.” 
 
 B. O. S. is remarkable for its “delicious individuality of flavour,” 
 mellowness and softness on the palate—“A very nectar” in 
 marked contrast to ordinary blended Whiskies, which are more or 
 less dominated by one or other of the Whiskies used in blending. 
 
 To sum up the merits of B. O. S.—It is a pure Whisky of 
 choice quality—A blend of the highest class of Whiskies produced 
 in Scotland—Of guaranteed age—Unquestionably the happiest 
 combination of the most famous types of Scotch Whiskies ever 
 offered to the public.

 now presented in this special blend of B. O. S. They are so confident of its apprecia¬

 THE BEST BOOK FOR A CHRISTMAS PRESENT OR A PRIZE. 
 
 TBUrBL THE TERRIER; 
 
 Or, The Life and Adventures of an Artist’s Dog-. 
 
 Told and Illustrated by J. YATES CARRINGTON, and written by CHARLES MORLEY , a friend of Teufel’s . 
 
 About the beginning of December, or perhaps a little earlier, we shall publish, in obedience to suggestions from a hundred 
 quarters, a more expensive edition of “ Teufel the Terrier,” which will be bound in handsome and substantial form, printed on 
 thick paper, and sold at FIVE SHILLINGS. As a Christmas present we think it will appeal to young and old alike. As a prize we 
 hope it may commend itself to schoolmasters and schoolmistresses. 
 
 SOME OPINIONS 
 
 The Mancrester Examiner :—“ Nothing happier or more charming 
 than the veracious history of ‘ Teufel the Terrier’ has been told since 
 gentle John Brown enriched our literature with the pathetic tale of 
 ‘ Bab and his Friends.’ It is the tritest of truisms to say that some of 
 the most delightful stories in our language have been told about dogs, 
 yet we boldly take our courage in both hands and recklessly repeat the 
 old platitude with special application to Mr. Carrington s little 
 
 book.His handling of the pen is as graceful and gently 
 
 humorous as his handling of the brush, and his style and manner not 
 only indicate the unconscious possession of the true literary faculty, but 
 also just as unconsciously depict his own tenderness of heart, acuteness 
 
 of observation, and warm sympathv with the animal world. 
 
 THE BOOK SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO ALL CHILDREN, 
 OLD OR YOUNG.” 
 
 The Manchester City News. —“ For a delightfully humorous story 
 of a dog’s life—his early years, semi-human character, eccentric conduct, 
 and amusing adventures—we heartily commend Mr. Yates Carrington’s 
 
 entertaining narrative.Since the appearance of Dr. John 
 
 Brown’s famous 4 Rab and his Friends’, there is nothing quite so good 
 or so sympathetically told as this biographical record of a dog’s inevitably 
 brief career. In minute and affectionate touches, illustrative of canine 
 character, in close sympathetic observation of canine peculiarities, Mr. 
 Carrington’s sketch is worthy to stand by the side of the picture drawn 
 by Dr. John Brown.” 
 
 The Gentlewoman. —“ The book is well illustrated, and many of the 
 incidents related will appeal to the sympathies of every doggy 
 individual throughout England. We all know the author, and all those 
 who love c’ogs love him too, through his well-known pictures of almost 
 
 OF THE PRESS. 
 
 every kind of dog, mongrel and other. Of Teufel I can scarcely speak 
 without a suspicious moisture gathering in my eyes, for he stems my 
 dog, my own faithful dog, just a^, when they have read the book, he 
 will be everybody’s dog.” 
 
 The Stock-keeper and Fanciers’ Chronicle.— “We would suggest 
 to those who have not already done so to procure a copy of this amusing 
 and pathetically written book. . . . Profusely illustrated with 
 
 more than eighty engravings after pictures from Mr.Carrington’s brush.” 
 
 Woman. —“ I paid my shilling—the price of the book—willingly, and 
 I would pay a good many more shillings to ge: as much pleasure as I 
 did out of this sho-d story. . . . This small book is full of the most 
 racy and true-to-life like little sketches of the beloved terrier, and of 
 other animals as well.”

 THE POPE AND THE NEW ERA. 
 
 BEING LETTERS FROM THE VATICAN IN i88g. By W. T. STEAD. 
 
 SOME OPINIONS OF THE AMERICAN PRESS 
 
 Bee, Toledo, Ohio. March 26, 1890. 
 
 “ The Pope and the New Era ” is one of the notable new 
 books. William T. Stead, its author, is editor of the Pall 
 Mall Gazette, a profound thinker and a forceful writer. 
 
 Advertiser, Boston, Mass. May 30, 1890. 
 
 Throughout the book there is much information, which 
 is of value in enabling the reader to judge the part that 
 the Vatican is playing and will play in the working out 
 of the world’s problems. Mr. Stead does not inspire 
 entire confidence, but he is a suggestive writer, and his 
 book is worth reading. 
 
 Chronicle, San Francisco, April 20, 1890. 
 
 A volume which is as noteworthy for its fairness as 
 for its frank discussion of many features that are usually 
 ignored by partisans of the Romish Church, and wildly 
 exaggerated by its opponents. The book is well worth 
 reading, as a vigorous and impartial discussion of a sub¬ 
 ject which is seldom handled except by eulogists and 
 intemperate enemies. 
 
 Citizen, Brooklyn, N.Y., March 16, 1890. 
 
 “The Pope and the New Era” is the title of a new 
 book just issued by Cassell and Co., which will find a 
 place in the library of thoughtful men of all churches. 
 However much one may differ from Mr. Stead’s con¬ 
 clusions or from his statement of facts, all will admit 
 that he has produced a book of great interest to the 
 thinking world of to-day. 
 
 Commercial Gazette, Cincinnati, Ohio, September 12,1890. 
 
 Though the editor is what in England is called a 
 Radical editor, he has shown as much native inde¬ 
 pendence of character as any man in that country. 
 Everyone must admire the skill with which he makes 
 colossal suggestions. He can in the same sentence 
 compliment a Church on its great antiquity and submit 
 a plan for its radical reorganization. He is at once an 
 editor of immediate practical resources and a visionarj’ 
 of the most unbounded confidence. He might dine with 
 the Church people of Rome or Belfast and be an in¬ 
 teresting and acceptable visitor with both. 
 
 Dispatch, Pittsburg, Penn., May 26, 1890. 
 
 He went as an alert, observant, fair-minded, and broad¬ 
 minded editor, as a man who saw the need which our 
 generation has for all possible emphasizing of the good 
 and discouraging of the bad, and who was glad to find 
 that the men who have the spiritual and moral directing 
 of some two hundred millions of our fellow men are not, 
 after all, blind to the nee'ds of the time. “ The Pope and 
 the New Era,” which is the title of Mr. Stead’s book, is 
 not a phase of contradiction. 
 
 Eagle, Brooklyn, N.Y., April 6, 1890. 
 
 In “ The Pope and the New Era ” (Cassell and Co.), 
 Mr. W. T. Stead may almost be said to excel himself as 
 a journalistic traveller, observer, and rhetorical writer. 
 
 Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia, March 21, 1890. 
 
 We have a singular and striking view of the possible 
 future of the Papacy. Mr. Stead writes in . good temper 
 and entertainingly, like a practised journalist. 
 
 Free Press, Detroit, April 17, 1890. 
 
 The letters are characterized by a breadth of mind, a 
 freedom from prejudice altogether refreshing. Of course, 
 there is much in them with which many, within and 
 without the Catholic Church, will dissent. But none 
 will question the honesty and the impartiality of the 
 writer. Could higher praise be given one in dealing 
 with so difficult a theme ? 
 
 Inter-Ocean, Chicago, April 29, 1890. 
 
 Our readers will not often find stronger, clearer Eng¬ 
 lish sentences than in these letters from the Vatican 
 written last year. 
 
 Inquirer, Philadelphia, April 31, 1890. 
 
 Mr. Stead is a hustler who undertook to hustle the 
 Pope and the Church of Rome. To many minds, the 
 contents of Mr. Stead’s volume would seem rather start¬ 
 ling if there were not other evidences of a disposition on 
 the part of the Church of Rome to keep in closer touch 
 with the world and to profit by some of the great social 
 movements which appear to be gathering force. 
 
 Journal, Providence, April 30, 1890. 
 
 Of the brilliancy of these letters, their insight, their 
 fairness, making some allowance for the author’s pre¬ 
 disposition as an English dissenter, there can be no 
 doubt. There, is a buoyant optimism about them which 
 most readers will not share, but there is an abundance 
 of reliable information in them which makes them 
 profitable and interesting reading. Many will fear that 
 this is impossible, but all may read the letters with 
 profit. 
 
 Journal, Indianapolis, May 31, 1890. 
 
 The letters were written during a visit to Rome in 
 1889, when the writer enjoyed the advantage of free 
 communication with high officials of the Church. The 
 subject is handled with decided ability and in a very 
 liberal spirit. 
 
 New York Herald, April 6,1890. 
 
 The book is specially valuable for a few statements 
 which the author says he makes with the highest 
 authority, concerning the position of the Holy See 
 regarding some of the questions of the day. 
 
 New York Times, March 23,1890. 
 
 Mr. Stead writes as if he felt himself ordained to 
 become a journalistic Luther of the nineteenth century, 
 whose suggestions must commend themselves to the Pope 
 and the Cardinals from their inherent British common 
 sense. 
 
 To liberal Catholics and to all who are not bound to 
 read what a badly educated priesthood prescribes, Mr. 
 Stead’s volume will be lively and agreeable reading, in 
 some cases both lively and agreeable, in others merely 
 lively. 
 
 Nobody but an Englishman would be capable of 
 writing a book like this. It is so queer a mixture of 
 naivete, good sense, tactlessness, and vulgar shrewdness, 
 that the mixture itself has a pleasant flavour which 
 takes the place of any possibility of its doing good. 
 
 Post, Boston, Mass., July 17, 1890. 
 
 Mr. Stead is always vigorous ; often quixotic; gener¬ 
 ally progressive ; continually novel. He is on the alert 
 for sensations. He out-rivals the American journalist, 
 and England need throw no stones. These letters are 
 vivacious, full of colour, ample in suggestion, and good 
 as photographs of Rome to-day, where they deal with 
 facts and not with theories. 
 
 Sun, N. York, March 15, 1890. 
 
 Mr. Stead is frank and outspoken to a degree. Few 
 Protestants have ventured to approach the subject in so 
 broad a spirit, and few probably would treat it withjsuch 
 candour and freedom from prejudice. 
 
 States, New Orleans, La., April 6, 1890. 
 
 Though Mr. Stead’s conclusions are not altogether 
 convincing, still his methods of arriving at them and his 
 discussions of the various questions involved are exceed¬ 
 ingly curious ; and his occasional sketches of the leading 
 members of His Holiness’household are very graphic and 
 interesting.

 THE SALVATION ARMY 
 
 Is a Force of Men and Women formerly indifferent to Religion, who have been 
 Converted and Organized in Military form. 
 
 Originated in July, 1865, by the Rev. WILLIAM BOOTH, now the Army’s General, this Organization has become 
 
 the largest Home and Foreign Missionary Society in existence, carrying on its work in most 
 European Countries, in the British Colonies, the United States, the Argentine Republic, India, and South Africa. 
 
 The Purpose of the Army 
 
 is to force upon all who have forgotten God His claims to their love and service, and to train all its converts to 
 regular toil for the spread of the Gospel. 
 
 Present Dimensions of the Army. 
 
 The Army now employs : In the United Kingdom . 
 
 „ ,, In other Countries ... 
 
 4,513 Officers. 
 4,827 
 
 Total. 9,340 
 
 None of these persons have any salary guaranteed to them. They have given up, in most cases, good situations 
 and comfortable homes in order to labour amongst the poor, getting their support from the freewill offerings of 
 those to whom they minister. Many live in the very lowest slums of London and other large cities, and spend 
 their time in visiting, nursing, and otherwise helping the most wretched of the people. 
 
 The Army consists of 2,865 Corps or separate Societies, holding 48,000 Services per week, or 2,400,000 
 per annum. 
 
 There are 41 Rescue Homes for Fallen Women, thousands of whom have been permanently led into a 
 good life. 206 Officers are employed in this work. 
 
 There are 6 Food and Shelter Depots in London, at which those who have sunk to the lowest depth 
 of poverty can obtain a decent night’s lodgingfor Id. and a good meal for a Id. The Social Reform Refuges - 
 Industrial Workshops, Employment Bureaux, and proposed Colonies and Settlements are now arresting 
 world-wide attention. 
 
 The Property of the Army. 
 
 Each Corps uses one or more of the Halls for its services, and hundreds of such Halls belong to the Army, the 
 remainder being rented. The rentals paid in the United Kingdom amount to over £120,000 per annum. 
 
 All property whatsoever is held by the General for the time being, as Trustee under a Deed enrolled in 
 Chancery, the 7th August, 1878, so that it cannot be diverted from the purposes set forth in that deed. 
 
 The Finances of the Army. 
 
 Each Corps has its Treasurer and Secretary, through whose hands all the local moneys pass. The Corps are 
 generally able to meet all local expenses with funds raised on the spot. But there are in every country central 
 funds for the extension of the work, for its maintenance where it is not locally self-supporting, for the Rescue 
 Department, the Training of Officers, and their assistance when invalided. 
 
 Enquiries are always welcomed by the Financial Secretary, who will send information respecting any matters 
 connected with the Army on application. Sums may be given or lent towards any branch of the work, or to help 
 in any country. Prodigal sons and daughters gladly sought out by the Enquiry Department. 
 
 Loans on mortgage for fixed terms are received in England, and good rates of interest paid. There is also an 
 S. A. Bank with Deposit and Current Sections for the convenience of those who desire to help extend'the Kingdom 
 of God, but cannot give largely. 
 
 The Accounts are Audited and Annual Balance sheets published by a well-known firm of Chartered 
 Accountants and Auditors, Messrs. Knox, Burbidge, Cropper & Co., 16, Finsbury Circus, E.C.

 “WITH WHAT SHALL WE CLE AN OUR TEETH?” 
 
 ~ '-\ 
 
 We draw the attention of the intelligent section of the Public to the following brief remarks : 
 
 “1 always use a Powder 
 
 to clean my teeth.” 
 
 THAT’S where you are WRONG. 
 
 ^ eefcb , with a powder,—you will never clean the crevices, where they 
 L ; /- nd Xt -J S a clumsy method to use a powder,—it certainly is not cleanly, as it 
 +v. 6asl “P set - Again, a powder, to effect its purpose, must be L reduced to a 
 that conditio^fa^the start re ° f ^ mouth or brush - So certainly saves time^to have it in 
 
 
 “1 always use a Liquid 
 Dentifrice or Mouth 
 Wash.” 
 
 THAT’S where you are WRONG. 
 
 6V T devis f d Cf »i properly clean the teeth, and you will notice that all 
 some oret^t H,1^2“ the weakness of tkeir position in this respect by enjoining upon 
 
 a very^oundabo t of ^ powder «k°»iwhich is simply making a paste of it in your mouth, and 
 
 
 But you may say:— 
 
 “ 1 always use the 
 S^LVIJUE Deqtifrice, 
 
 which is a Powder and Mouth 
 Wash combined.” 
 
 THAT’S where you are RIGHT. 
 
 And Good Reasons can be given to show that you ARE Right. 
 
 REASONS. 
 
 Decay of the Teeth is caused by the action of 
 acids, which are generated in the chinks and 
 crevices between the teeth. 
 
 The Salvine Dentifrice is an fy^-Acid. 
 
 When the lime, of which the Enamel is largely 
 composed, is dissolved by acid action, °the 
 Parasites which are to be found in every mouth 
 complete the work of destruction. 
 
 SALVINE is the only Dentifrice whichjis an ANTI-PARASITIC. (It is the result of 
 years of patient study and experiment by anjeminent Dental Surgeon.; 
 
 ‘‘What other advantages do you claim for 
 Salvme ? ” 
 
 That it is an astringent for tender gums, and that it whitens the teeth without injury to 
 them, and sweetens the breath. J 
 
 Why is Salvine the most 
 Economical Dentifrice? 
 
 When you buy Salvine you are buying Dentifrice, you are not paying for a large earthen¬ 
 ware pot, or a thick bottle, as it is enclosed in a thin collapsible metal tube, by which means 
 its virtues are retained, uncontaminated by air or moisture, until the very last. 
 
 Why is Salvine the most 
 Cleanly Dentifrice ? 
 
 Because it can be readily placed direct upon the brush, and can never get messy ” with 
 ?i at V T ^° 1 or J thre .! P ersons can thus use with perfect propriety from the same tube as 
 the bulk of the dentifrice remains untouched. 
 
 Why is Salvine the most 
 Portable Dentifrice ? 
 
 It packs into the smallest compass. 
 
 It cannot be upset. 
 
 There is no pot or bottle to break. 
 
 It is therefore a boon to travellers. 
 
 One trial will convince you 
 
 of its merits- Do not be put off with any other article.

 "THERE IS HO APPEAL BEYOHD C/ESAR /" 
 
 The late world-renowned Dermatologist, 
 
 Sir Erasmus Wilson, F.R.S., 
 
 The first and only President of the Royal College of Surgeons who ever 
 gave a public Testimonial, and the following is 
 
 THE ONLY TESTIMONIAL HE EVER GAVE. 
 
 44 T F it be well to wash the skin—and we never heard the 
 JL “ proposition questioned—it is well also that we should be 
 “ familiar with the means by which that purpose may be 
 ** most efficiently attained. 
 
 “ We once knew a beautiful woman, with a nice complexion, 
 “who had never washed her face with soap all her life through; 
 u her means of polishing were, a smear of grease or cold cream; 
 “ then a wipe, and then a lick with rose water. Of course we did 
 “not care to look too closely after such an avowal, but we pitied her, 
 11 For Soap is the Food of the Skin. 
 
 “SOAP IS TO THE SKIN WHAT WINE IS TO THE STOMACH— 
 
 “ a generous stimulant. It not only removes the dirt, but the layer 
 “ which carries the dirt; and it promotes the displacement of the 
 “ old cuticle to make way for the new, to increase the activity of 
 “ change in the skin. Now turn we to Toilet Soaps and there we 
 “ find a r\ame engraven on the memory of tf\e oldest inhabitant— PEARS.” 
 
 An article of the nicest and most careful manufacture, and the most 
 refreshing and agreeable of balms to the skin.
