The Art of Newspaper - Making. By Charles A. Dana. (T. Fisher
linwin.)—Mr. Dana magnifies his office, especially as it is dis- charged in the United States, Possibly in addressing the "
consin Editorial Association" he could hardly speak the absolute truth. Other observers have come to the conclusion that the Ameri- can Press is scarcely worthy of its position. " Specimens of the highest forma of human intellectual production that we are yet acquainted with" ! This is his modest description of the American daily paper. A more outrageous piece of flattery we have never seen. The gorge of even the Wisconsin editors must have risen at its grossness. The second lecture, addressed to the " Studentt of Union College," shows, we venture to believe, the real Mr. Dana. He has some excellent advice to give to his young hearers. The third, delivered at Cornell University, is also full of good sense.
