"The power of compressing the essence of long pe riods of time into sentences which are both comprehensive and expressive has rarely been more strikingly illustrated. One hundred and seventy pages of large type suffice for this stupendous undertaking which would appall most historians even in fancy. But it must be confessed that to a certain extent the author has succeeded admirably. We fear, however, that the very comprehensiveness and generalization which we admire will render the book somewhat misleading for it gives the appearance of simplicity to what is in itself difficult. Few men would have the courage, and fewer the learning to attempt such a task, but as far as any man could do so Professor Lavisse has succeeded.”Critic, Jan. 16.

The Pall Mall gazette calls attention at second-hand to a new literary light:

"One day day last autumn it seems the Paris 'Figaro' announced to an astonished world that a new and greater Shakespeare had arisen in Belgium. The name of the Belgian Shakespeare was Maurice Maeterlinck; his Parisian discoverer and panegyrist was Octave Mirbeau; the play in which M. Mirbeau found 'things more beautiful than the most beautiful things in Shakespeare' was entitled La Princess Maleine;' and Mr. William Archer owns himself far from insensible to the weird and subtle beauties which have so inflamed M. Mir. beau's critical imagination. If instead of Shakespeare' M. Mirbeau had written Webster,' Mr. Archer would place him on the hither side extravagance. A Webster who has read Alfred de Musset' is Mr. Archer's own definition of M. Maeter linck. He tells us to expect something of Poe and Baudelaire, too. But the distinctive method of the Relgian is all his own. His matter is grisly; his style, at the first blush, seems childish."

Palgrave, W: G. A vision of life; Semblance and reality. 1891.

"Scholar, soldier, missionary, diplomatist, William Gifford Palgrave might fitly stand for a type of the English race. He sacrificed an Oxford reputation for an Indian cadetship, and abandoned a promising career in the army for the life of a Jesuit missionary relinquishing that in its turn for the service of the Queen in some of the unkindliests outposts of the Empire - his personality like that of awrence Oliphant was fascinating but energetic." Athenæum, Dec. 12, 1891.

"The ambitious scheme of the poem, its seriousness of aim, its magnitude, its metre, and the conditions of its publication are all more or less peculiar. He was prepared for an epical range of flight not less extensive than that of Dante. He proposed to explore the shadowy world of life and death, passing through the intermediate region, where souls undergo purgation by a series of lustrations, and onward through the spirit-land with its seven kingdoms that correspond with the chief pursuits of man. An astonishing and interesting work, notwithstanding the obscurity and formlessness which no editorial supervision could eliminate." Sat. rev., Jan. 9.

Phillips, E. W. Watts Phillips; artist and playwright; with sketches and letters. 1891. "Without being called for, a life of Watts Phillips is welcome. The place taken by him in his lifetime was scarcely proportionate to his merits and without some record such as the present his name might in the course of time have been practically forgotten. From absolute oblivion his plays must have rescued him." -Sat. rev., Dec. 26, 1891.

"Tired of the sea, without money or friends or any calling of much use to him on dry land, he roamed through the country from New York to Dakotah, southward to Texas and back again to New York, seldom in funds, often without food, and generally in rags. Farm laborer, cattle drover's cook, dish washer in a restaurant'a hash-house' is the technical term for it railway 'section hand,' odd man in a logging camp, firewood chopper, post-hole digger to a railway surveyor, firewood pedler, bar-keeper in a gambling house, 'stri ker' for a blacksmith, shepherd, sailorman on board a river steamboat, mule driver to a canal-boat, and a tramp in the intervals between the various callings-Mr. Rob. ert's experiences of the Great Republic were on the whole more varied than agreeable. But he tells of his fortunes and misfortunes with such engaging frankness, and in language so redolent of the soil, that it would be difficult to read a more entertaining narrative.” — Academy, Jan. 2.

Ball, Sir R. S. The cause of an ice age. 1891. (Modern science.)

"The late Dr. James Croll in his classic work' Climate and time,' published in 1875, accounted for the glacial epoch by the joint effect of a change in the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, and in the position of its axis. His arguments won many adherents but objections were made which were generally admitted to be formidable, and thought by some to be insuperable. The discussion of this forms the distinctive feature of Sir R. Ball's book. Though the mystery is not com. pletely solved, he has removed a great difficulty and made a long step in that direction.
