It was indeed a happy thought to print an entire novel in each number. Not a short novelette, but a long story such as you are used to get in booh form and pay from one dollar to one dollar and a half for. Not only that, but with each number you get an abundance of other contributions, which gives you a good m.igaune besides the novel. It does not follow in old beaten paths ,— which is an easy task,—duet is perpetually discovering new and pleasant ones, and following them too. The ringing blows which have been struck on the gateway of popular favor, have resounded through¬ out (he entire land, and to day Lippincott’s Maga¬ zine stands in the front rank of monthly publications, and is the most widely-read-and-taIked- of publica¬ tion of its hind in the world.
