These two volumes are devoted to the first administration of Jefferson and to the great political, financial, and international questions that arose after the transfer of the control of the government from the Federalists to the then-called Republican party. The first half-dozen chapters are given over to a masterly review of the economic, social, and intellectual status of the country at the beginning of the century, the domestic and foreign policy of Jefferson's administration being then taken up. Mr. Adams' work, when complete, will cover one of the most important periods of American history-that embracing the two administrations of Jefferson and the two following of Madison-from 1801 to 1817. It is an epoch to which Mr. Adams has devoted many years of study, aided by the papers of his family and by many other original and valuable sources of information, and concerning which he speaks with authority.

Within the enemy's lines,' like the preceding and first book of this series, treats of incidents of the late war; this story opens at a more advanced stage of the Rebellion, and tells of a second and equally daring attempt of the Southerners to capture the yacht Bellevite. The same characters that figure in "Taken by the enemy "act in the present volume; one of them, a Confederate officer, conspires against a northern heiress. The book is written from a northern standpoint, although there is nothing offensive to the southern side of the question; it is bound in parti-colors with a laurel wreath surmounting the badges of both armies.

A tragic tale in blank verse. The narrative gives setting to a legend of the Elizabethan period, and centres in the ruined Devonshire manor-house which in the reign of Elizabeth was the seat of Sir Richard Wyndham. The Boston Post says of It: "So truthful is the rendering of local color, eu full is the poem of the breath of English air and to inhabited by English feeling, that it approves our boast that the past of England does in fact belong to us as to the old country and its traditions are native to us still. It is hard to see in what way an English poet would have felt differently in treating the same theme " *Aldridge, Arthur F., comp. Brawn and brain, considered by noted athletes and thinkers.
