The value of Harvard's new "publication, the "Quarterly Journal of Economics, seems to be generally realized even outside of the college. The Nation published in its last number a very complimentary notice of the new journal. Although the writer of the review takes occasion to criticise mildly some minor points in the articles of the journal, the lively and trustworthy treatment of the great practical subjects, such as the account of the "Southwestern Strike" and the Knights of Labor, received due praise. Students of political economy, and especially college students, are fortunate in possessing a magazine which will give clear, reliable and concise discussions of the great economical questions. Amid the confused mass of economic literature of to-day, when superficial writers are so abundant, when a flood of pamphlets, often as obscene in language as they are mistaken in facts, threatens to involve the student in endless perplexity, it is a relief to turn to authors of established reputation in their departments. That the "Quarterly Journal of Economics" should prove so successful in its purpose must be a great satisfaction to its editors.
