TEN LIFE AND LETTERS OF JAMES GATES PEREZ
| vAL-by Julius H. Ward.
This is an interesting biography OF an interesting
man. published in the usual fine style of Ticknor &
Fields. There has always been strange mystery
about the life of Perciva the eccentric and gifted
poet distinguished also n linguist and gcologist
The writer was no. personally acquainted with Perez
val, but by the aid of his friends he has with great
industry presented such information as those who
are interested in the poet will seek II was rather
delicate task TO write the life of one who had such
varied gifts and requirements, combined with such
obvious faults; but Mr.. Ward has done his work
faithfully, mpartally, and we think, successfully
His style is modest and unpretending but SIMPLE,
clear and appropriate There is tedious eulogy or
special pleading, after the manner of Parton and
Headley. The many anecdotes and "reminiscences by
the friends of the poet add much to the interest and
value of the work, especially the communications of
Prof W. c. Fowler and Charles n. Shepherd
The work will be found romantic, instructive and
entertaining to all lovers of litcraurc especially in
structive to all those parents Others who have the
care of youth, for it is painfully evident from this life
that great part of the suffering and trouble of Per-
civa might have been avoided by genial and mp
propriate guidance in youth. Ut
