The exceptional combination of authors, especially of American authors, presented in the list of contents, at once suggests the varied and significant interest centred in the volume, as well as its distinctive character. As to the freshness of the various contributions in prose and poetry, it should be stated that but three of the thirty-eight papers contained in the work have ever previously been printed in book form, while a large proportion of them have been written expressly for the volume.
