Numerous histories of Piedmont have been pub.

those of Galenga and Broffero, stand prcmnen.
The former, published in English 10 1875, is pecu
arly adapted 10 foreigner. VINO wish for clear his
torcal sketch Of the rise and progress OF that italian
State which to-day occupies ~ prominent, position IN
the Europsa an theater. IL commences with sketch
of the country, drawn from the nights Of Saper6a
with those mastery touches, that vivid cooring, and
delicate blending of light and shade which is Gasn-
gas peculiar forte. His chapters on Ancient Pied
mont Piedmont of the Middle Ages, and the Rise Of
Savoy evince wide and intelligent research. After
describing the efforts of the Dukes Of Savoy TO add 70
their territory he passes to the general history Of
Italy up to the time Of the Lombard League and tho
peace of Constance and then continues the history of
Piedmont, ts disastrous condition during the Of
Charles V. and Franc, l., its revival during the gO-
rious reign of Emanuele Hitherto up TO the flight Of
Victor Emanuee into the Island of Sardinia at Napo-
hons entrance into Italy, and the restoration of the
ROYAL Throne in 1914. This history, up to the reign
of Charles Albert is written with clearn.ss vivscity
and mpartialiiy which do credit TO GalenSas talents

since 1880, one cannot help feeling his perpexty in

ANGELO BROFFERIO.
A History Of Piedmont, from 1914 TO orB
timfs u vols 1870, has been published by Ange-
10 Brof, rio, the eloquent aor of the Sandman
Parliament and q writer who occupies prominent
position in literature as poet, editor and historian.
HIS writings all bear the impress of ardent patriotism,
and fascinae the reader by certain air of gsyety,
pointed but pl. osant irony, united with photograph
ic power of reproducing the characters Of historical
which att imea are ulagpt in auph strong
relief that not ubfrequen,ly they the appear
apce Of carcatures, without, however, marrng the
actual features. These qualities are especially prom
in,nt in the Memoirs Of his Life of which the first
volu lie only had appeared in 1857. HIS History of
Piedmont includes three regns that of Vittori0
Emanuele l., Carlo Felce and Carlo Alberto.
The former rigns consist in the reproduction OF
the middle ages in the encouragement given TO bar
tarism in the betrayal Of the patriots who aoored for
reforms by the Prince Of Caugnano during
the Revolution of 1921. The reign Of Charles
Albert cons,.ts in the bloody executions Of the
members of Young Itay in 1888 the installation
of the Jesuits and protection afforded Of let
