A strong paper on "Alexander Hamilton," a new story, "The Second Son," by M. O. W. Oliphant and T. B. Aldrich, "Marginal Notes from the Library of a Mathematician" by A. S. Hardy, are noticeable among the other papers of the number. A review of Stockton's stories and book notices complete the issue.
