Philip A. Bruce William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Papers, Vol. 2, No. 4, (Apr., 1894), p. 282. THE VIRGINIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY, January, 1894. Philip A. Bruce, editor, Richmond, Virginia. The valuable periodical fairly outdid itself in this issue. The content are varied and exceedingly valuable. We have, first, the report of Joseph Bayan, the President of the Virginia Historical Society, the Constitution of the Society, and the long list of members, chiefly due to the persistence and energy of Mr. Bruce, the editor of the Magazine and the Secretary of the Society. In fact, the student of Virginia history cannot do without this excellent periodical, and all should join in sustaining it. Contents: "Proceedings of the Virginia Historical Society"; "Public Officers in Virginia, 1680"; "Letters of William Fitzhugh"; "Virginia Troops in French and Indian Wars"; "Discourse of the Old Company"; "Abstract of Virginia Land Patents"; "Historical Notes and Queries"; "Necrology of Virginia Historical Society, 1893"; "Book Reviews"; "Publications Received". The foot-notes to many of these papers are more valuable than the papers themselves.
