ing,—but they will probably never be known. It is only the accounts given by their white adversaries that form the materials of border romance. The book has some very good illustrations, several of the portraits of Indians being especially striking.

A TASTEFUL Volume, "The Letters of the Duke of Wellington to Miss J." (Dodd, Mead & Co.), brings to light a curious episode of the past, which has its pathetic as well as its ludicrous side. The materials of the book- the Duke's letters and the diary and letters of Miss J.-have lain for years unnoticed in the attic of a New York country-house. Perhaps the fact that such available publisher's grist has been so long in coming to the mill is due to motives of delicacy on the part of Miss J.'s friends. Their relative's side of the story is pitiful enough in all conscience; and they shrank, no doubt, from the thought of "coining into drachmas the recorded follies of one near to them-until a decent period had elapsed. But Miss J. has been dead these twenty-eight years; so that the packets of letters may be untied, and the diary, freighted with its fantastic story, unclasped. Miss J. was a young and beautiful woman, whose early devotional tendencies had ripened into fanaticism. Conceiving herself to be the messenger of God, and having successfully labored with" a condemned murderer, she resolved to convert the Duke of Wellington. Accordingly, she wrote to the Duke, and received a courteous reply. A second interchange of missives was followed by an interview-a most extraordinary one, according to Miss J., signalized by a declaration of love from the Duke in the following brief but unmistakable terms: "Oh how I love you! how I love you!" We will remind the reader that His Grace was then sixty-five, and that our heroine was subject to hallucinations. The Duke's letters are certainly not those of a lover. They are usually courteous, sometimes friendly, always brief, and occasionally evince a desire to get rid of his pertinacious exhorter. Occasionally there is a hiatus in the correspondence; but Miss J. returns again and again to the charge, like the French at Waterloo, and the Duke finally surrenders-and posts a reply. The summing-up of this curious affair would seem to be that the Duke was more tolerant of the meddling of this young and beautiful woman than he would have been of that of a less charming person; and that having once encouraged Miss J., an abrupt dismissal was out of the question. The vigor of the persecution to which the unfortunate warrior was subjected may be inferred from the following extract from one of his replies: "The Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Miss J. He has no Lock of Hair of Hers. He never had one. The Duke is not aware that he has been guilty of presumption, of daring presumption," etc. The Duke's letters are full of a dry unconscious humor that renders them very amusing. The volume is neatly gotten up, and the editing, by Miss C. T. Herrick, is thorough and exact.

It seems a trifle ungracious to introduce the criticism of a book with an exception to its title, but the discrepancy between the rather high-sounding name "Reconstruction of Europe" (Houghton) and the contents of the volume which bears it is so marked that the critic for once may be excused. If we first inquire what this title implies, it will then be pertinent to pursue the inquiry and ask whether the material of Mr. Murdock's book justifies the adoption of it. The reconstruction of Europe " after the revolutions of 1848 would, among other things, include a detailed account of the vicissitudes which encountered the Austrian monarchy and necessitated the establishment of the present dual system; of the movements in southeastern Europe, which are still tentative; of the progress of Russia; of the dynastic changes in Denmark and the position of the Schleswig-Holstein Duchies,—as well as of the rise of Italy and Germany, and the varied fortunes of the French nation. It would involve, morever, a more or less philosophical treatment of the causes which produced all these external changes. Battles and campaigns are no longer history in its best sense, but Mr. Murdock, as he confesses in his preface, treats particularly and almost wholly of the

manœuvres of the Crimean War and of those of the Italian and German conflicts. Armies march across the scene; generals ride to the outposts or linger in the bivouac; trumpets and drums sound charges at the Alma, at Solferino, or at Sedan; and the fortunes of dynasties are decided in a day. But what do we learn of the causes which animated these various movements, or of the hidden motives which inspired these changes? What do we learn of the growth of public spirit and of the power of the people? What do we grasp from this volume of the potentialities and the meaning of the nineteenth century, as contrasted in its latter half with the century which preceded it? Candor compels the critic to say that, while the résumé which is here given of the Crimean war and of the rise of Italy and Germany is both interesting and agreeable to read, the author has fallen short of the greatness and dignity of his subject. His book, which is in itself excellent so far as it goes, is put at a curious disadvantage by the inconsistency between itself and its title. The brief but valuable Introduction by Mr. John Fiske may be supplemented by reading Freeman's Oxford Lectures of 1887, entitled "Fifty Years of European History," where the subject is handled with masterly and exhaustive ability.

A NOTEWORTHY contribution to "The Riverside Library for Young People" (Houghton) is Lucy Larcom's graphic sketch. "A New England Girlhood." The writer tells her story frankly and unaffectedly, and interweaves it with a singularly vivid picture of New England 66 as it used to be."

This old New England life is not, in itself, an alluring subject, or one likely to warm the imagination. Nothing short of the sympathetic genius of a Hawthorne could have discerned and pointed out for

66

us the modest beauty of the hardy blossoms, the snow-flowers of life, that flourished under the frosty breath of New England Puritanism. In Miss Larcom's sketch there is the old suggestion of flintiness, of æsthetic poverty, of a life thrifty, meagre, icily virtuous, grimly unattractive. Even a holiday feast was to this inflexible people a sort of mortifying of the flesh. Miss Larcom describes a delicacy familiar to her girlhood, known as "'lection cake a festal phenomenon which was only "a kind of sweetened bread with a shine of egg-and-molasses on top." Now this meagre and ascetic "'lection cake" furnishes a very fair analogy to New England life as it used to be." There was a sad lack of the citron, and plums, and spices, and other good (if not altogether wholesome) things of life, in each. The author's account of the Lowell factorygirls of her day is extremely interesting. These young women, it seems, in addition to their regular avocation, published, edited, and wrote for magazines; they were astonishingly familiar with “solid literature, and beguiled the breakfast hour at their boarding-houses with scientific and metaphysical discussions. One wonders which was the more indigestible, the conversation or the viands. But whatever may be the limitations of Miss Larcom's subject, her treatment of it is admirable. Nothing better of its kind has come under our notice than "A New England Girlhood."

A NEW edition, re-written and re-arranged, has been issued of E. L. Anderson's popular work on "Modern Horsemanship" (Putnam's Sons), which originally appeared in 1884. Professor Anderson is a thorough master of his art, having spent some thirty years in its study and practice in the various countries of Europe. As a result, he has originated a very distinct school of horsemanship, and the present volume is a description of his methods. For the purpose of bringing out certain points the book has been re-arranged in three parts, the first of which is devoted to the needs of ordinary riding, such as the mount, the various gaits, etc.; the second to a method for the training of the saddle-horse; and the third to the purely ornamental movements of the riding-school. Professor Anderson's style is concise, and his explanations are clear and explicit. The book is most admirably illustrated with forty autotype reproductions of instantaneous photographs, which show a given position at a glance more clearly than several pages of verbal explanation might do. Altogether, the book is a valuable one, and should interest all horsemen, from the

so good a thing as the following, which refers to the reception given at certain hands to Lord Tennyson's later poems: "The slight critics who sneered at them as the work of an old man, and welcomed them with a general chorus of 'Go up, thou baldhead,' only condemned themselves, and made us regret that since the days of Elisha the bears have allowed one of their most beneficent functions to fall into disuse." We are especially thankful to Mr. Van Dyke for his interesting, if a little forced, comparison between Milton and Tennyson, and for the chapter which does such ample justice to what the writer calls "The Historic Trilogy that is, the three dramatic poems of "Harold,' "Becket," and "Queen Mary." With his defense of the Arthurian idyls against the strictures of Mr. Swinburne we cannot agree. It seems to us that the latter has, with unerring artistic instinct, put his finger upon the radical defect of that otherwise remarkable series of poems.

THE useful" World's Workers" series (Cassell) is closed by a monograph on Dr. Arnold of Rugby, by Rose E. Selfe. This little volume is a panegyric rather than a serious attempt to appraise and clearly set forth the life-work of the great teacher. presents, however, a fairly good outline of the Doctor's career, and the eulogy-though too persistent and high-pitched-has the eloquence of sincerity. We cheerfully recommend the work to those who do not care to attempt Dean Stanley's larger Life.” Dr. Arnold's fame as Head-Master of Rugby was largely the fruit of his high conception of the extent and meaning of the teacher's function-a vital function strangely belittled by an ignoble army of "Bradley Headstones" and dusty gerund-grinders. The common-law maxim, in loco parentis, was full of grave and kindly meaning to the Doctor; while to the 66 Tom Browns" of Rugby a school-master meant something more than a Latin grammar and a stick. To round out the character, to produce the well-balanced man- -the gentleman in the true sense -was Dr. Arnold's aim; and "the fruit which he, above all things, longed for, was a 'moral thoughtfulness; the inquiring love of truth going along with the devoted love of goodness.'"

AN American edition has been issued by the J. B. Lippincott Company of M. Pierre Paris' compact Manual of Ancient Sculpture," edited and translated by Jane E. Harrison. The work is a rapid survey, critical rather than historical, of the sculpture of Egypt, the Asiatic East, Greece, and Italy. The illustration is profuse, and, in the main, ac

of the manège and la Haute Ecole.

THE Rev. Henry Van Dyke's essays on "The Poetry of Tennyson" (Scribner) are marked by the sympathy and reverence that should characterize discussion of the subject, although a flippant note is struck here and there not exactly in harmony with the general tenor of the writer's observations. Even this, however, may be forgiven, when it results in

commendably thorough. About two-thirds of the volume is devoted to a résumé of the evolution of the Greek plastic art from the Archaic Xoana— rude sexless idols, rough-hewn from tree trunks or slabs of limestone-to the divine masterpieces of the Pheidian and the Græco-Roman periods. Modern research (the chief results of which are noted in the present treatise) is gradually bringing to light

work illustrative of this grand development, although the divergent chains which linked the sexless Xoanon to the array of marble divinities grandly typified for us in the Hermes of Praxiteles and the peerless Queen of the Louvre, are still far from entire. M. Paris' concise Manual, while intended chiefly for art students and amateurs, is admirably suited to the use of students of Greek life and history. The study of the Egyptian sculptures, although brief, is extremely interesting. It should be mentioned that the text has been augmented and corrected by the translator, whose work throughout is praiseworthy. The efforts of author and editor are well seconded by the publishers, who offer the Manual in a tasteful and substantial form.

A HISTORY of Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming, from 1540 to 1888, forms the latest volume in Mr. H. H. Bancroft's series, and covers the easternmost portion of the ground contemplated for that great historical enterprise. A few more volumes will complete this unparalleled series of histories, covering the Pacific Slope from Alaska to Central America. Each successive volume confirms the favorable opinion we have heretofore expressed of this important and invaluable series. Histories like those of Prescott, Parkman, or McMaster, these books are not; rather, they are storehouses of historical facts, gathered with infinite industry and pains, and collated and arranged with intelligent discrimination. The fulness of particulars is, in fact, almost bewildering; but these are brought into place in an orderly and systematic narrative, and made easily accessible separately by a good index in each vol

ume.

The work thus becomes at once a historical mine of unexampled richness in which the special student may delve, and a museum in which innumerable facts are classified and labelled for ready reference. (Published by the History Company, San Francisco.)

IN the form of a series of biographies of leading explorers, Dodd, Mead & Co. promise a complete history of geographical discovery. Each work will be from the hand of a competent authority; and while the style will be popular, the more serious intent of the general plan will not be lost sight of. The initial volume, a life of the brave and scientific Elizabethan navigator John Davis, by C. B. Markham, F.R.S., augurs well for its successors. The account of Davis reads like a romance; and while full of instruction, it is sufficiently spiced with adventure to please the most exacting admirer of the inventions of Mr. Clark Russell and his compeers. The volume is supplied with maps, charts, and a few illustrations.

THOSE who have hitherto regarded the hermitpeople of Korea as a race of semi-barbarians will do well to read Mr. H. N. Allen's recently-published volume of "Korean Tales" (Putnam's Sons.) These tales, while displaying the naive invention and artlessness of folk-lore, have a unique flavor of their

own, due to the isolation of Korean civilization. One is surprised to learn that the Koreans are peculiarly sensitive to the beauties of nature, their favorite pastime being to "wander about over the beautiful green hills," enjoying the charms of the landscape. This profound sense of natural beauty lends a poetic charm and freshness to their literature, enriching it with pleasing images, and insuring a ready play of fancy. Several of the stories are in the vein of Uncle Remus "; and, oddly enough, we find our Machiavellian friend "Br'er Rabbit at his old tricks in Korea. The literary merit of Mr. Allen's work is impaired by a lack of careful

revision.

(Harper)

IN his "Life of Martin Van Buren Mr. George Bancroft gives us a broadly-sketched review of Van Buren's public career and policy, rather than a "Life" in the usual sense; and, while his work has its own special merits, it lacks the color and anecdotal quality which count for so much in biography. His standpoint is that of the advocate rather than that of the critic; and his " "Life," in point of fulness and impartiality, seems to us inferior to that contributed by Mr. Shepard to the "American Statesmen" series. Of the of accuracy Mr. Bancroft's statement of facts, we have the warrant of Mr. Van Buren himself.
