But we must turn from the vivid portal
lures of "Gan-Eden," assuring our readers that
they will richly reward their attention, to the
prosaic statements Of Mr. Ballou, who though by no
means destitute of lively imagination, prefers the
matter ofact aspects of the subject, and chiefly aims
TO furnish store of accurate, Trustworthy informa
ton to the student Of Cuban affairs.
His volume opens with elaborate survey of the
history of Cuba from the time of its discovery by
Columbus to the present date winding up with po-
litica disquisition on the immediate future Of the
island The author explains the views of those who
believe in the existence of secret treaty between
Spain, France and England, by which Spain is guar
aDeed the perpetual possession of the island on con-
dtion of her carrying out the abolition views of the
British Government The conviction is general that

that there is no probability of peaceful solution to
the question by the sale of the island to the United
States The most intelligent residents live in con-
slant dread of a cOnvulsiOn, more terrific and SAN
culinary, than that which darkened the annals of st.
Domingo The measures which have signaIlzed the
Administration of General Pezucla show the deter
mination Of the Spanish Government to emanciPate
the slaves and bring the colored and white pOpula-
ton into state of social equality, so that any revo-
Iutonary movement would cnkndle war between
the two races terminating in the extinction of the
whites.
Leaving his political and historical discussions, the
author describes the manners and customs, scenery
and local features of the Island, and presents series
Of agreeable Il etches which, if not entirely novel,
have certain animation and glow that give an
unfailing interest to their perusal few specimens
