The Lost Cause Regai1aed. BY EDWARD
A. POLLARD, author of the Lost Cause" )"
New York G.. w. CARLETON q Co.
Mr.. POLLARD has contributed very in
tercsting work on national topics in this
book. The heads of the volume show its
general tenor. They are: Review OF the
Late War; Reconstruction; The Negro
Question; The True Hope of the South
and Duty of the Whole Country. MIR. Pol
LARD is one of the most fluent and pithy
writer's of his day. His judgment is not
of the calmest Tor the best-balanced kind,
but there is always much to entertain, and
often much to instruct, much that is valuable
for reference, in what he writes or collates.
The work before us is especially valuable
for what he has very industriously gathered
I'D and presented along with his own tersely-
written opinions. The general line OF ar
gument by which he reaches the point
where the Republic is regained is charac-
terized by practical sense and forecaste.
Interspersed with the argument are opin-
ions, which may or may not be accepted
without especial detriment to the general
idea, that the Republic is to be restored by
force of its immense power, physical and
moral-the former subordinated to the lat
ter, which, in the phase of "public opin-
ion," will triumph over the elements and
policies elected by the late war which are
hostile to constitutional, republican govern
ment.
