Though largely unreadable, this column includes several notes on current and forthcoming publications. Of the items that it is possible to read, there is a reprint of remarks made in the Boston Transcript about the Purtian founders of Massachusetts, a reprint of several questions from the Philadelphia Press about the pome "Miles Standish," and a long note on Victor Hugo. The column ends with a summary of the contents of major American magazines for Decemeber and the contents of international magazines for November.
A note on Harper's New Monthly Magazine mentions that Fitz James O'Brien will have two poems in the December edition, "Love at the Lattice" and "Prize Fight" (2).
