MR. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
Will write for The Atlantic Monthly during 1886.
MR. JOHN FISKE
Will contribute six or more papers on United States History, covering the period from the Revolution to the adoption of the Constitution. These papers discuss a portion of American history very imperfectly known, and cannot fail to be exceedingly engaging by reason of Mr. Fiske's ample knowledge and perfectly clear style.
MR. PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON,
The distinguished English writer, will furnish a series of articles comparing French and English people, character, opinions, customs, etc. Mr. Hamerton is peculiarly qualified, by his intimate knowledge of the French as well as of his fellow-countrymen, to write on this subject.
