"The Boundary Disputes of Connecticut"
by Clarence Winthrop Bowen, is a unique
book. From the building of the first house

and forty-seven years before anyone could
positively lay down the boundaries of colony
or State. The story of this long uncertain
ty of the diplomatic negotiations, the con-
troversies in the royal courts, the
violent assertions of jurisdiction on
the one hand, and the violent resistance
to it on the other, is the subject of Mr.. Bow
EMS superb volume. He has rendered a sub
| stantial service by the laborious thorough
| ness with which he has explored not only the
very numerous publications which constitute
| the existing library of Connecticut's history
| but also the inedited original documents of
| that history. These sources are faithfully
| indicated in abundant foot notes. and many of
| them are reproduced for the first time in the
| form of several of the maps with which the
book is so amply illustrated The frontis-
piece of the volume is fine picture of Gov
eraor Winthrop, copied from the original
portrait in the possession of Mr. Robert
| Winthrop of New York. Published by

| "Sonnets and Canzonets." by A. Bronson
Alcott, is the title of an unusually interesting
| collection Of poems. A critic we'll says of
them "Dehniteness, in fact, must not be
looked for in these poems, nor is it the char
aetsristio of the highest poetry in any Ian
guags. Verse may be powerful and sugges-
tive, or even clear in the sense of producing
q distinct impression on the mind, without
being definite and responding to all the claims
| of analysis. The notices and
citations accompanying each sonnet may help
the reader to a meaning that does not at once
flash in his eyes. But he must not expect to
conquer these verses at a single reading. The
| thought of years, the labor of months, has
been given to the writing of them and the
reader ought not to complain if he takes as
much time to comprehend them as the author
took to write them. They are worth the
pains of reading many times over, and even
