“There are now other Magazines in the field of notable excellence, which lay claim upon the public attention,
but the ‘ATLANTIC’ remains the best distinctively literary Magazine in the country; a Magazine which
no person interested in the literary movement of the day cares to be without.
The programme which it has announced for the present year, is an exceptionally
attractive one.”—The Christian Union, New York.
