Reference

HOUGHTON, OSGOOD & Co. have nearly ready Miss Stebbins' "Life of Charlotte Cushman," which can hardly fail to attract a remarkable degree of attention. Miss Cushman was a woman of so positive character, an actress of so commanding power, and she had so large acquaintance with distinguished people both in England and America, that the story of her life, told by her intimate friend, who has had access to all her papers and journals, will be read with eager interest. The Life will be issued in a single crown octavo volume, which will have a portrait of Miss Cushman from a photograph, a heliotype of Miss Stebbins' bust of her, and a picture of her Newport villa.
