The Century Magazine for 1898.
253 West Wnahington St.. Portland, Or.
The Century Magazine, with its No
vember number, enters its twenty
seventh year. During its long exist
ence, by reason of its many notable
successes, it has won an assured and
commanding position.
During the
coming year The Century will maintain
its exceptional position as a magazine
of entertainment and as a leader in art
aud thought.
Its pictorial features will be notable,
and it will command the services of the
foremost artists, illustrators and en
gravers of this country and of Europe.
Nothing like a complete announce
ment of its literary features can be at
tempted now.
Dr. Weir Mitchell,
whose novel of the American Revolu
tion, “Hugh Wynne,” is the great suc
cess of the year, has written a new I
story for the present volume. It bears I
the piquant title: "The Adventures
of Francois: Foundling, Adventurer,
Juggler and Fencing-Master during the
French Revolution.” The tale is full
of romance and adventure. Mrs. Bur
ton Harrison contributes a new novel I
of New York life, called “Good Ameri
cans,” in which contemporaneous social
tyj>es and tendencies are brightly mir
rored and described.
There will be a group of clever stories
about horses and people who like
horses, under the general title of “Gal
lops.” "A Woman’s Reminescencesof
the French Intervention in Mexico”
will be given in a series of graphic and
highly picturesque papers by Mrs. Cor
nelius Stevenson.
Further contribu
tions to the interesting series of
“Heroes of Peace” will be made bv
Jacob A. Riis, Gustav Kobbe, Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps Ward, and others.
For the benefit of readers of The
Century an unusual combination offer
is made for this year. There has been
issued “The Century Gallery of One
Hundred Portraits,” made up of the
finest engravings that have appeared in
the magazine, und representing a total
expenditure of nearly $30,00?. These
are printed on heavy plate paper, with
wide margins, like proofs.
The retail
price of the gallery is $7.50, but this
year it will be sold only in connection
with a subscription to The Century,
the price of the two together being
$6.50.
