...Yale Lit. is good, as it nearly always is, and has some unusually good verse; but the Nassau Lit. is the best of the monthlies, with an excellent article on Goldsmith, a well-written, though rather sensational story, a very good critical article on Shakspere's two methods of suggesting time, as shown in Othello, and several short pieces on different subjects. The editors think we ought to have some new college songs, in which desire every one will agree with them who has the misfortune to room next to a Freshman who thinks "Naughty Clara" is the latest thing...
...Nassau Lit. for May contains several very clever articles, notably one entitled "A Collegiate Smike," a character which appears, to a greater or less extent, in all our great universities.

The Review is interesting, and well edited. The oration on "The Speeches of Mark Antony and Brutus in Shakespeare" is better suited for delivery; in reading it the style is too interjectional, and, if we may be allowed the expression, too jerky. The article on Wordsworth shows thought, and the reasoning is good, but unfortunately the writer, in quoting...
