Literary Notes.
The Lincoln history in The Century, by the private secretaries of Mr. Lincoln, Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, will deal during the coming year with the political and military history of the early period of the war. New light will be thrown upon certain events of that period by the publication of correspondence and other documents never before printed, and unknown to but a small circle. The historians now enter upon a more important and personal part of their narrative. The publication of this history has brought an increase of 25,000 subscribers to The Century.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett will contribute a short serial to the coming volume of St. Nicholas for Young Folks, which is said to be a worthy successor of that author’s famous “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” which appeared in St. Nicholas a year ago. Joel Chandler Harris, John Burroughs, Frank R. Stockton, H. H. Boyesen, J. T. Trowbridge, Col. Richard M. Johnstone, and Louisa M. Alcott are among the many distinguished writers who will contribute serial and short stories to this famous magazine for young people.
Edward Eggleston author of “The Hoosier Schoolmaster,” will furnish an illustrated novel to The Century for 1887-8. It is a story of pioneer life in Illinois.
