...Edmund Gosse's last book, "Robert Browning's Personalia," is put forth, its author says, in answer to constant inquiry for The Century article, which forms the most of its substance. That article was publised in the December number of 1887, and Browning's death naturally renewed public interest in it. To this article, entitled "The Early Career of Robert Browning, 1812-1845," is added a very brief chapter of personal reminiscences and an epilogue. The epilogue is merely some verses from Ronsard, to which Browning was very partial, quoted here with their quaint old spelling preserved...

The subject...
...Advocate's attempt to find whether the undergraduates desire a course in common law is a commendable enterprise. If the men who have received postal cards answer promptly, we do not doubt that a widespread desire for the course will be made evident. In such a case the faculty certainly ought to take steps for offering the course among next year's elective studies. We believe that the course would be valuable in itself, that a sufficient demand for it exists, and that it would be eagerly chosen by a large number of men. We should not, however, be satisfied...
