The brightest paper by far in a. rather too solid
number of the Porton is Mr. Frederic Harrison's article on "Charlotte Bronte's Place in Literature." It is not at all strident, though heartily eulogistic. It has certainly much more of the air of distinction than "The Two Eternal Types in Fiction," the author of which has succeeded in getting hold of a good subject, but has also written only in a conventional style about it. Of the heavy articles, the best are "The Antitoxins Treatment of Diphtheria," "The Tenement : The Real Problem of Civilisation," and "Our Blundering Foreign Policy," the last by Senator Lodge. Oae sentence from it may be of special interest to this side of the Atlantic :—" England has studded the West Indies with strong places which are a standing menace to our Atlantic seaboard."
