art, will arouse,
thrill, edify, amuse, vex and nonplus its friends. But it will
compel attention; it will conquer a hearing. Its business
management is in the good hands of Miss Susan B. Anthony, who has
long been known as one of the most indefatigable, honest,
obstinate, faithful, cross-grained and noble-minded of the famous
women of America. It only remains to add that, as "the price of
liberty is eternal vigilance," so the price of The Revolution is
two dollars a year.

apathy into which they had fallen after the war." Miss Anthony went to
Washington to introduce the paper and returned with a list of
distinguished subscribers, including President Johnson himself! The
following from Mrs. Stanton will show how criticising letters usually

enshrine him as a saint. The attacks on
