a stirring paper of patriotism and valor, written by SAMUEL RHODES, JR., the historian of Marblehead.
The first instalment of a series of papers on the
AUTHORITATIVE LITERATURE OF THE REBELLION,
by Dr. George L. Austin, will also appear in the October number.
Besides the foregoing features, the October number will contain other articles of permanent worth in the fields of BIOGRAPHY, HISTORY, and STORY. A vigorous method of dealing with LEADING QUESTIONS OF THE DAY will be maintained in the Editorial Departments.
It will thus be seen that no pains are being spared to insure for the Bay State Monthly a character that shall prove invaluable and of the deepest interest to
ALL CLASSES OF READERS.
