int as beautiful a magazine as can be
made anywhere.

ANTHONY HOPE'S NEW NOVEL

begins in our April number. It is a spirited story of adventure. It
is his first novel since "The Prisoner of Zenda," and has even more
action than that splendid story.

THE LIFE OF LINCOLN

will increase in interest as the history comes nearer our own time.
Every chapter will contain much that is new, and every number of the
magazine will have several portraits of Lincoln.

THE EARLY LIFE OF LINCOLN.

We have collected the first four Lincoln articles, added new matter
both in text and pictures, and shall, in a few days, issue a volume
with the above title. It will contain twenty portraits of Lincoln,
and over one hundred other pictures, and will deal with the first
twenty-six years of Lincoln's life.

ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS

in the next two numbers tells about the writing of "The Gates Ajar."
She was then only twenty years old. The effect of the book on the
public, the correspondence it brought her, and the acquaintances it
secured her, will be amply dwelt upon. These are two remarkable papers
in literary autobiography.

COLONEL ELLSWORTH, BY COLONEL JOHN HAY.

Ellsworth's death at Alexandria--"the first conspicuous victim of the
war"--although he was only twenty-four, was the dramatic end of a most
romantic and picturesque career; and no one knows its details so well
as Colonel Hay. Ellsworth "was one of the dearest of the friends of my
youth," says Colonel Hay. Moreover, he was a particular favorite
and _protege_ of President Lincoln's when Colonel Hay was Lincoln's
private secretary. Colonel Hay's paper, therefore, is one of quite
extraordinary interest. There will be published with it some very
interesting pictures.

"THE SABINE WOMEN"--A CORRECTION.

Changes made in Mr. Low's article in the January number at the
very moment of going to press, occasioned a mistake which should be
corrected, though, no doubt, most of our readers have detected it for
themselves. In the note to David's picture of "The Sabine Women," the
picture was described as portraying the seizure of the Sabine women
by the Romans, whereas it portrays the interposition of the women in a
battle following the seizure.
