Frothingham, jr., has contributed three admirable articles on art topics the "Introduction of Architecture into Italy," "An early Christian Rock-cut church at Sutri," and "An Architectural Tour in Central Italy." "The Cruise of the Grampus" by Professor William Libbey, jr., is an account of the investigations made last summer by a party sent by Princeton to observe the temperature and specific gravity of the ocean at different depths...
