A POOR FELLOW. Dick & Fitzgerald, New York. This book ia written by some one who is well up in New York literary circles, and it gives Home of the parvenu litterateurs some very ungentle taps. The story is good, the moral excellent, and the style eay. TM book, we think, will bo favorably received. THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for July contains some good essays and poems, but we do not think it is equal m interest to other numbei. * The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" is becoming rather tiresome, and TV think that its dittinquWiprt author might well employ his pen in some other direction. HOUSEHOLD WORI3— Published by Janapn & Co., No. lis Nautili street, New York—This excellent- periodical, ever fresh, lively, and sparkling, has many biilliant skptt'heh in this number, which alone render it worthy of an attentive perusal.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

Jeanna Bryner, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
