It is the hyphenated off spring of the union of Bob Tay lor's Magazine and Trotwood’s Monthly. Now everybody knows and loves Bob Taylor, but “down in Georgy” John Trotwood Moore is not so well known as in Ten nessee and possibly other contig uous Southern States. Neverthe less, Mr. Moore is one of the South’s foremost poets and auth ors and his productions are classed with the best of contemporary magazine literature. The Taylor-Trotwood is dis tinctively S iiithern in its tone and scope and will appeal strongly to magazine readers of the South land. It deserves wide reengni tion and a place on every book table in the South. Among the splendid articles in , the number before us is "Robert Edward Lee.” by Robert L Tay lor; "Colonial Footprints,” by J. H. Coliins;and "Twelfth Night Revels,” by Jane Field Baskin. Under the serial caption of “His toric Highways of the South,” John Trot wood Moore presents “The Second Day at Shiloh,” a graphic description of the last day’s conflict on one of the dicis- the problem in a manner entirely sat isfactory to the newspapers, by dividing the fees for legal adver tising.
