WHAT IS SAID OF The Century Magazine. “The Century Ims the effect of greater luxury in editing than any of the rival magazines.” The N. I'. Ration and Evpninrj Poet, Dee. 0, 1883. “From the very start-this magazine beldly took up a forward position, and it has boldly and splendidly maintained its plac6. With each number has been clearly manifested its aggressive aud intelligent enterprise, and far reaching have been the results! During the past year, The Century has outdone its former work in almost every one of its departments. Some of its engravings have been amazingly line; several of those in the Deeembor number are particularly so—the portrait ot Peter Cooper especially. And its reputation has been, to our mind, as much widened by its improved excellence on the literary side as on the artistic. The time was when tt.e illustrations were fust and the letterpress accor.i, if not third, in impor'ance: ut that time, for ft, year or more, has been pasWH» tniigly Dec. 8,188:1.
