...imagine the relief that is found in turning from a pile of College "magazines," etc., to the old, familiar, yellow face of the Atlantic, the June number of which is now before us. Mr. Aldrich has closed his "Prudence Palfrey" in a strikingly original and unexpected manner; and, as a whole, it is, decidedly, one of the most readable of American novels. Whatever Mr. Aldrich writes is never stale and never dull, and we hope and believe that this will not be the last of his contributions to the Atlantic. "Mose Evans" also concludes with this number; G. P. Lathrop...
...player can hardly fail to detract somewhat from the spectator's pleasure. But, pantomime and all, Salvini's Hamlet interests and pleases. Throughout it recalls Booth much more than Fechter, to our mind. In the scene where the ghost first appears, a great deal of the acting seems strangely familiar, and elsewhere throughout the play the likeness is striking. The conception of the part is different from Booth's; it is not so artistic, but, like Fechter's, more even and consistent throughout. Hamlet, as Salvini shows him, is mad; but it is monomania.

It is pleasant to know that the founders of the Society do not intend to confine its benefits to the number, necessarily small, of those who make a study of Shakspere occupy a large part...
...Sciences can be applied for. Inasmuch as the examinations have almost wholly to do with the sciences, and consequently but little time has been devoted to Latin or Greek, a very good knowledge of some one of the modern languages is demanded of all candidates. You are now familiar with the plan of the studies pursued in the colleges and lyceums. In my next I shall speak of the life led in these institutions, of their interior organization, and the regime to which the students are subjected...
