THE WOMEN OF THE AMERICAN REvoLUTloN by
Elizabeth +. Eile author of "The Characters OF Sch
ler," Country Rambles," sc. 2 vols. New York.
Baker 4 Scribner. 8
We have examined this work with great interest.
deep debt of gratitude is due Mrs. Ellet for the
agreeable manner in which she has performed the task
OF Iesculng and SO vvIdy placing before the mind the
lofty heroism of the Women Of the Revolution. In
noticing it, do il better than by adopting the
following from the New Bedford Mercury Mrs. Ellet
in her modest preface speaks of the great difficulty Of
obtaining authentic materials and of the scantiness of
these But she has rescued much valuable history of
character from tile oblivion which fast shroudng
the domestic life of that eventul period She has made
interesting and valuable book, one which we hope
will do much elevate the of mind and character
Of the descendants of these much TO be loved and
erenced ones, of former day. Some of these skech>
are of thrilling interest, gather from hasty
glance ,heir. pages The narrative is clear, concise,
and very agreeably written Much praise Is due to the
ou'uoIeSS IoI cdIelui dFOlodnce oil emoelShment
and elaboration She tells her "story strag hi on its
best recommendation and her owa. alt will. prove"
We doubt not she hopes" valuable contribution to
American history" but still we think as an add-
tional treasure OF memory and thought which may lead
to an earnest emulation Of the virtues which ennoble
and beautfy. humanity. The work is handsomely
printed and illustrated with numerous portraits, incud-
ing those OF Mercy Warren, Esther Reed, Mary Phil
pse, Sarah Bache, Martha Wilson, Rebecca Motto, and
Cornelia Beckman.
