Wells's "The Life of John Itedmoud" it is difficult to determine what cIiimrp of policv might have been wrought by the Wilsoninn self-determination and other policies in the mind nnd soul of the greatest Irish lender of his period. Mr. Wells, who is associated with Anglican journalism In frelnnd and is morn or less sympathetic to the "as cendancy" or Dublin Castle party, and by that token nativelj antipathetic to the full realization of Erin's national istic ideals, an Englishman by birth if wc mistake not, has paid very noble tribute to Ilcdmond's sincerity of pur pose, his 'great war services, his mnr vclous parliamentary capacity, his Ccl- I tic eloquence compact of wit. humor and i sagacity, and his imperinl-mindeducss. Forltedmond was a firm believer in the , empire a British empire that would bj based in essential democracy, free from oppressions nnd inequalities, of in-! equities nnd iniiiuitirs, that would be conducted in the spirit of largo nnd fine liberalism to ultimate and enduring har mony. Then, because be is gcnernlly exceedingly fair, Mr. Wells recounts the betrayals of Mr. Itcdmond and the home rulers, tho intrigues against them nnd their cause, even after it had achieved final victory of parliamentary passago and signature by the crown; his story skims lightly, hut does not gloss the in numerable wrongs, industrial, social, ecouoniic, educational, that Ireland has bad to suffer from toryism. These pas sages, coming from a source that is alien and, if an thing, prejudiced on the other tide, refute time and again argu ments made against the Irish cause.

This is because for minuteness of tie tail and for ungrudging admiration Jones's life of Samuel Butler continu ally suggests the fuinous work of lios well. Butler bad to wait till lie was dead for his greatness to be recognized: for this retison lie is one of the most pa thetic figures in the literature of the lust half of the nineteenth centurj. Me wrote manv books on many sunjects, and no publisher would print them unless be paid the bills. lie was out of pocket about $:000. for the people would not bu v his books. 'T.rewhon. his first, is 'an exception, but the total net profit on this during his lifetime amounted to less than ?"50. and this is the profit on a sale of less than -1000 copies. Mis one novel, nnd what is general!) admitted to be his greatest hook. "The War of All Flesh." was not published till 'after his death in V.W2. Thru his fame began to grow, and people began to ask for his other books. Act the other books arc not easy to get. A Pliiladelphian ordered from his book ,1W "Krewhon llevisited, three months ago. and has uot received it vet. Another Pliiladelphian went into store last week and asked for wbou." but it was uot in stock. Jones's biography, or memoir, as he calls it. is in two large olumes of more than -ir0 pages each. It starts with the anccstrx of IJutler, going back lo l.'SO and tracing it down thioiigb the centuries. It deals with his education for the church, his decision that be could not conscientiously mice orucrs. nc ex periment with sheep farming in New Zealand, his return to Loudon, where i be studied puiuting and hud several pic turcs exhibited in the llojal Acadenij : his writiug of "Krcwhon. and lus in tercst in tin' pioaicm in nu- uhkhi "i life and species, his ipiarrel with Charles Darwin, and the writing of hw other books, including the novel, begun in 187:; and finished in ISs.i. II tells ot his friends, iucluding Miss Savage, with whom be corresponded for eur. and many others more famous than she Miss Savage is now afsured of a fame I of which she never dreamed, for her let- , ters reveal her as a woman o most on- ' usual gifts, with n power of expression I and a humorous point of view and a kindliness of spirit which jiistif.v Ilul ler's estimate of her as the most bril liant nnd best woman he ever knew. The admirers of llutler will lind ilie book nn admirable supplement of the notebooks and to "Tiie Wn.v of II Flesh," for it authoritatively identities Butler with the hero of his novel, and tells who the originals of the other char ncters were and discloses the man's proc ess of working, nnd exhibits his sin ccrity and honcstj of purpose as domi nating all that lie did. If any one doubt ed before that he was iutellcetiiullv one of the most honest men that ever lived. the book will persuade one to me con trary. Butler refused to take oi-iIpis because he could not believe what the church taught. Yet be was a deeph religious man and occupied Himself all his life with ail effort lo solve the ms tery ot the unlveisi. This explains lijs" interest in evolution, and bis effmis to get at the bottom of the matUr, in order to discover whether things Imp peued or whether thev're ordered bv a conscious purpose. His point of view is well set forth iu a letter to the Bishop of Carlisle written iu ISfl. I wrote; If, for example, tho'o who wart with an nll-ptrvadliiB hupreme liitHii cenco can jet llnd nothing out nf hai inonv with their 'nlti.il assumption in a theory of evolution which Is atlr-nrl rd at each Btep bv inlnd, puipoM ami tlio exercise of tho moral qualities and I' BBahi. those w no like nivscir start with tabulae ras;i ,-inil working up from tho first thifiB thev can lav hold of, find thenibelven driv. t Ium to ovolutlon, Jhen to purponvn ,., lutlon. and throueh Hi s '; H" ' ' 1 nf a supreme, all-pervading mind ot purpo'eln both orcanic and tnnnnnlc matter then wurelv wo may b on tlio ce of tho removal of other misunder standings. Butler had confidence in the value of what ho wrote and he believed also that his life would he written after he died. In prenarution for that, he left his papers carefully classified and annotated tor whoever should handle them. Mr Jones has had access to all these papers, lie has followed every due in them and interviewed personally or by letter everv nerson with whom P.uHer had nnv deal ings. in search or additional data. A" a result, there is no significant or triv ial fact in the life of the man not over ed iu the two volumes.

More people like n good story deal ing with the lives of decent people iu a decent manner than find pleasure in the p'sycholosical ' tnle where most of tho action takes place in the minds of tho characters. It would be easy to say that Mrs. Richmond is superficial in her treatment of her theme. It is cer tainly true that she is not pathological. Kcithcr docs she belong to the fleshly school. If she had belonged to that school she would have treated the in cident in "Bed and Black" of the ocean bath of her hero and heroine in n very different manner, for after coming our ot tnc ocean the hero, who had not In tended to do nnything of the kind, tells tlio heroine ho would like to marry her. The book is clean from beginning to end. 'Where a innu really said "damn" sue makes him say "darn," and so she refrains from offending the most squeamish. It is a love story, of course, for few novels that sell ignore i ne love interest, nut it is at bottom an account of the effort of a clergyman nnmeil Black to win the friendship of ir. iicuueiii repper minis, the pn.v sician with whom Mrs. Ilichmond's readers arc well acquainted.

P. Dulton & Co., G81 Fifth Aye., N. Y. Sonic few books in the world are real labors of love. They can be spot ted almoMt at a jilancc. This book ih one or thent. With leisure to com mand, and a tender feeling that only the best would be good enough, Mr. Hatcheller has set about his task of rc&earch and contemplative study in n wav that has ilnally given the foundations for u tale such as only a creative imagination of wide range could bring into being. Mr. Batchel ler has produced a story that is full of winning charm, redolent of the atmosphere of a most picturesque period in Amciican history, and deli cately quaint in that humorous at titude which is so much like Lincoln's own. r Hays the Philadelphia Ledger: The talc is told with what seems an arucss simplicity, uul ii is mo skillfully done that cverj thing that happens seems real. It is as though one -were taken back to Illinois in tiie first half of the last century and peimittcd to see the men and women living their daily live.5 and thinking their daily thoughts. Says the Chicago Examiner: It's an inspiring sort of book lo read, in addition to being interesting, and it does make Abraham Lincoln an approachable, near-at-hand person. Former U. S. Senator Albert J. Bcvcridge in the N. Y. Times: Mr. Batchcller's' story is told with such art that the reader sometimes thinks there is no art in the telling of it. It moves, with such simplicity, such perfect naturalness that one is never conscious that tho writer is making an effort to hold the leader's interest or even to entertain him. Never is there an al tempt to "thrill," never any startling climax, never anything strained or affected. It is hard to imagine that the au thor put any toil into the construc tion of this novel, to smoothly does the narrative flow. Yet every line holds the reader as if he were under some gentle and compelling spell of which, however, he is unconscious. Full of interest and charm as the volume is, merely considered as a work of fiction, a novel, its prin-" cipal value is historical in that it makes us so intimately acquainted wjlli Lincoln's personality. Jt is not Lincoln the reformer nor Lincoln the statesman that we think of when we read "A Man for the Ages," but rather it is Lincoln the human being, as iio appeared among the neigh bors and friends with whom he lived, when the great purposes of his life j Wt'lC UCIIlg lOlIllL'll Hllll VVI1CI1 JllUM- dence was fitting him lo achieve those purposes. The Boston Herald Says: It i.-, easy to see that it will rank as one of the big books of the year and perhaps of many jcars. The Bobbs-Merrill Co., Publishers The N. Y. Sun Says: Irving Balchcller has told his Lin coln story so simply "and unpreten tiously that not perhaps until after tlic sto.ry is finished is it realized what a fine achievement it is and how much sympathy and imagina tion and understanding have been put into what is otherwise an excel lent piece of historical 'writing.' It is a curious thing, but in A Man for the Ages you do not seem to be leading history or biography at all so much as pure story, so nat urally has Mr. Hatcheller woven the Lincoln lore and legend and fact into his test. It is a beautiful story. It is Amer ica's best story and it is worthily told. Says the Phila. N. A.: The book ocrflows with tlic liter ary arl thai conceals art a flaw less setting for a unique gem. The cast of characters devised to portray the spirit of the lime, and in one way or another to accentuate the rare quality of the pure gold that was Lincoln, serve admirably as so many foils to heighten tlio impics sion of greatness and grandeur. The Cin. Times-Star' Says: A beautiful, and enthralling story, so convincing that one is almost left in doubt as to whether it is fact or fiction. I .
