Hard to find issue of London's weekly influential Saturday Review for 3 March 1900 is in very good condition. Great for a 126th birthday. 

Complete and 31 oversize pages.

See photo for a complete list of contents

Outstanding number include some notable highlights: 

Boer War reporting, ups and downs, victories and retreats, following Sir Redvers Buller and others around over the bloody hills and dales of South Africa.  

The able, energetic R.B. Cunninghame Graham's fictional "Buta" and a second contribution to this same issue, a letter outlining current American disdain for British imperialism in South Africa without even a thought given over to American shenanigans in the Philippines. It's headed "A Sermon Without a Moral."  

The great Max Beerbohm propounds, with some enthusiasm, on what he finds not to like about H.A. Kennedy's dramatization of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles on the London stage. It starred the able Miss Waller. This is a review of some interest on what he called, in book form, Hardy's "beautiful melodrama." Hardy himself, in the form of his silence following the appearance of the essay, seems to have agreed.  

Other correspondence and reviews of works and events centered around Rudyard Kipling, new books about the noble, elegant 2nd century author Lucian of Samosata, works on on curling, socialism, etc. 

Much more and some advertisements of interest.
