Self Culture Magazine SELF PUBLISHERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS LF CULTURE has for its sub-title the designation, "A Magazine of Knowledge," and that in a very wide and practical sense it is, since there is hardly a department of ' learning literary, scientific, artistic, indus trial, or philosophical — which it fails, from time to time, to deal with in a thoroughly popular and interesting manner. The magazine is now a welcome visitor in nearly a hundred thousand homes where there is sympathy with learning, taste for literature, and ardent interest in self-educational work. PROSPECTUS FOR 1899 THE Publishers of SELF CULTURE take pleasure in calling the attention of the reading public, and particularly those interested in self-education, to the attractions of the Magazine for the coming year (1899). That from its start SELF CULTURE has had the sympathy and support of those interested in self-educational work proves the want of such a vehicle of culture and of popular information as its projectors had in view in launching it. Did they seek other indications of success they might point to the high measure of approval which it has had from close upon a hundred thousand patrons, and the satisfaction with which its successive issues are currently hailed. Interesting and instructive papers will continue to be furnished on every topic of present-day importance, and especially on those that fall under the designation of Leading Articles on Timely Themes. Considerable space will be devoted to informing articles on all important, national, and public questions, contributed to by statesmen, public men, and well-informed writers of both Continents; to papers on social topics, economical, historical, scientific, and literary subjects, and to questions of the hour in which every thoughtful man is interested. An important series of papers will be begun in the issue for January, 1899, dealing with the successive eras of American History, from the founding of the nation, and with the chief actors in our country's annals. These papers will be contributed by eminent American writers who have made a special study of particular epochs in the national history. The first of these contributions, on The Federalists, their Times and Work, by Mr. Paul Leicester Ford, author of "The True George Washington," etc., will appear in the opening number of the new year, to be followed in February by thoughtful and interestingly written articles on Washington and Lincoln. The series will be continued throughout the year, and on its completion will form a valuable survey of political history illustrated by its chief actors, from the founding of the Republic to the present time. The writers will embrace many of the best-known professors in the universities and authors of historical treatises. A subsidiary series will treat of the Physical Features and Economic Resources of the Nation. Among early illustrated articles will be a series dealing with the chief American Universities, from the pens of prominent educationists or well-known men of letters. The series will also include histories of the great Universities of England and Germany, with accounts of the University Extension scheme, Post-graduate courses, facilities for Self Culture in Reading and Debating clubs, and the general progress of the Educational enterprises of the time, including the opening of Colleges to Women, and the founding of special institutions in their own behalf. A series of papers will be devoted to American Literature, illustrative of its characteristics and dealing with its varied phases, national and sectional, and with the more notable writers of the time, of both sexes. The series will include studies of the older and the modern authors of note, English and foreign, with critical estimates, and an indi'cation of their place in literature. It will be supplemented by critical papers on the dramatists. Important articles on European Politics and Foreign Affairs will also be a feature of SELF CULTURE for 1899. The articles will deal with Parliamentary Government and its shifting phases and the Legislative Machinery of the chief self-governing nations, with some account of the progress of Political Science, the growth of Democracy, the Elective Systems, Party organizations, and the wide range of interesting subjects that come under the terms Civics and Sociology. A series of articles from able pens will also appear on the various Countries of the World, with records of their progress, including the problems that arise in connection with the extension of Empire, types of present-day racial life, and a survey of modern geographical progress. The series will embrace popular accounts of Modern India, Please mention SELF CULTURE when you write to advertisers. China, Japan, Russia, Egypt, Soudan and Equatorial Africa, Abyssinia, the Transvaal, the South American Republics, and the larger Islands of the Sea. A pendant to the series will deal with the results of Geological Surveys, Exploring Expeditions, and the development of Mining Enterprise in the United States and foreign countries, with its economical outcome. Biographies of the Notabilities of the Time will form another group of interesting and instructive subjects to be dealt with in The series will SELF CULTURE in 1899. comprise statesmen, diplomats, military and naval commanders, royalties, men of letters, scientists, inventors, artists, and the great captains of industry and chiefs of commerce. It will also embrace sketches of historical women the mistresses of White House, wives of great men, queens, princesses, and women distinguished for philanthropy and good works. A pendant to this series will include picturesque narratives of historic Men of Action, ancient and modern, and of all countries, with compact accounts of decisive battles of the world, rebellions, and struggles for independence, and the influence of great dynasties. Illustrated papers will also appear dealing with the Navies of the Great European Powers, the United States Navy in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the War with Spain, with a popular description of the modern ironclad, torpedo boats, cruisers, how they are worked, manned and operated. Among this group of papers will be several treating of great Engineering Triumphs and the history of Notable Inventions, with their effect upon commerce and manufactures, the applied arts, etc. Popular articles reciting the recent Developments in Medical and Surgical Science, the progress of Sanitation, care of the public health and national wellbeing, will also appear, together with papers on Physical To these will be Education, Hygiene, etc. added summary accounts of the Learned Societies of the World, Science Associations and Academies of Letters, also, of the great Modern Libraries.
