ing fresh illustration of the versatility
of genius possessed by the author. 1t
is story of the Roman Republic in the
days of Cicero, Cato, and Catilinc.
While the author displays comprehen-

classical antiquity, he avoids the pedan-
try and stiffness too much the fault of
this kind of composition usually. The
plot is one of exciting interest, the cha
racters are powerfully delineated, while
the facts of history are made to play a
graceful and effective part in the devel-

notices, for everything of the kind, and
we don't care about one-half or one
quarter of the numbers, and shall not
take the trouble to notice works that
come to US semi-occasionally. There,
