From Current Literature: Review of The Yellow Book
The fourth volume of the Yellow Book is out, and
doubtless, says the New York
Tribune, there is joy in
the hearts of its makers and readers because this
pre-
cious bantling has weathered its first year. It is as
perky as ever and
may live to a green old age, but that
is not likely; and if the length of its
existence is dwelt
upon at all, it is only with reference to the probable
endurance of the movement of froth and silliness on
which it has thus far been
based. It is not creditable
that the jig-saw and blue-light school will be suffered
to
continue its antics many years longer. It must pass as
the Bunthorne
madness passed.
