I read with the greatest pleasure The Great Round World, and think, if I may express myself so, that it tells all that is going on in a nutshell.
We subscribe for your little magazine in our class, and we all take turns reading it.
I wish you would inform me the difference between the government of Russia and that of Turkey.
Very truly yours,
Robertson P.
New York, May 7th, 1897.
Dear Robertson:
Russia is an absolute monarchy, which means a government in which the will of the monarch is positive law.
Turkey is a theocratic absolute monarchy, which means something stronger yet than an absolute monarchy. The Sultan of Turkey is considered the successor to the Prophet Mohammed, and therefore he is not only the political but also the religious head of his people.

Dear Editor:
I read The Great Round World and think it fine. The following are books I have read and found very interesting: "A Knight of the White Cross," by Henty. "Boy Explorers," by Prentice. "Jack Ballister's Fortunes," "Merry Adventures of Robin Hood," both by Pyle. "Log-Cabin Series," by Edward S. Ellis. "Boris the Bear Hunter," by Fred Whishaw.
