The Atlantic Monthly for November opens with eight chapters of a serial by Stockton, "The House of Martha." Neither Martha nor House appears and the story so far has neither apparent subject nor object. It is told in the first person and concerns itself with a hired listener for the story-teller's stories and an amanuensis with a malarial husband. Stockton is no longer in his prime and this story threatens to be far from prime.
"Along the Frontier of Proteus' Realm" is a practical prose paper by Edith M. Thomas concerning the seashore, with its winds, waves, shells, shadows and spiritual influences.
"The Legend of William Tell" pricks the legendary bubble. "Robert Morris" is an interesting resume of a not very interesting career by Frank G. Cook. There are two highwaymen, a mediaeval one by Francis G. Lowell and an American one by R. H. Fuller. John Jay Chapman writes on the "Fourth Canto of the Inferno," Kate Mason Rowland on "Maryland Women and French Officers," Walter B. Hill on the "Relief of Suitors in Federal Courts" and Percival Lowell on the "Fate of a Japanese Reformer." Dr. Holmes continues his tea-cup chat and the number closes with the usual book reviews.
