Magazine of American History.

The March number of the Magazine of American History contains several articles of a broader interest than usual. The editor, Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, contributes the second paper of her series on the significance and present condition of "Historic Homes and Landmarks." The numerous points of interest about Bowling Green in New York City are well described and their connection with the history of the city is told in a charming manner. The article is illustrated with many pictures, some of the places as they are now and others copied from old prints, as they have been in the past. "America, the World's Puzzle in Geography," by Rev. William Barrows, D. D., is of especial interest only to students of American history. President J. C. Welling of Columbian University contributes an elaborate discussion of the "Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence" in answer to a recent article on the same subject by General Wilcox. The other essays in the number are "Du Pont De Nemours" by J. G Rosengarten; "German Family and Social Life," by General A. E. Lee; "Thrilling Adventures of a Kentucky Pioneer" by Annie L. Wilson, and a short biography of Colonel H. B. Livingston by M. L. Delafield. The number ends with several pages of original documents, notes, queries, replies, jottings and notices.
