readers, will be
initiated in the October number of the Bay State Monthly, by THREE
IMPORTANT CHAPTERS, namely:--

I.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN NEW ENGLAND AT THE OUTBREAK OF THE REBELLION, by a
writer who was thoroughly familiar with its current.

II.

THE MARCH OF THE 6TH REGIMENT, by one of its officers, who has gathered
together anecdotes as well as sober history.

III.

THE RESPONSE OF THE MARBLEHEADERS IN 1861, a stirring paper of
patriotism and valor, written by SAMUEL RHODES, JR., the historian of
Marblehead.

The first instalment of a series of papers on the AUTHORITATIVE
LITERATURE OF THE REBELLION, by DR. GEORGE L. AUSTIN, will also appear
in the October number.

Besides the foregoing features, the October number will contain other
articles of permanent worth in the fields of BIOGRAPHY, HISTORY, and
STORY. A vigorous method of dealing with LEADING QUESTIONS OF THE DAY
will be maintained in the Editorial Departments.

It will thus be seen that no pains are being spared to insure for the
Bay State Monthly a character that shall prove invaluable and of the
deepest interest to ALL CLASSES OF READERS.
