the road forward with as little delay as
possible. The rainy weather of the early

Hon. 1gna.su. Donnelly's Atlantis.

Hon. Ignatjms Donnellys Atlantis.
The New York correspondent of the Wash
ington Star thus notes the latest literary
sensation:
There has always been singular fascina-
ton about the Greek philosophers story of
the great island or continent that once existed
in the Atlantic Ocean, that was peopled by q
nation mighty in war and illustrious in the
arts of peace, and that in a single day and
night passed forever from the sight of man.
Atlantis was the name of this tabled island
which has lived for thousands of years in the
tradition.
Interest in the legend is revived now by a
literary event of more than common note
the announcement by Harper Bros. of a
work by Ignatius Donnelly, of Mime
sosa., Taking the soundings of 81. NJ. 8.
Challenger as a point of support for his
theory, and reasoning with great ingenuity
and an admirable facility of induction, he has
compiled most interesting, entertain
ing and instructive argument. Its logical
conclusion that Plato's description of the
island is history instead of fable; that the first
of civilized nations was that of Atlantis, and
that it was mighty and populous beyond all
others; that all great nations, all primary
ideas of religion, and all earlier outgrowth of
civilization were begotten out of Atlantis, and
that it is demonstrate fact that terrible
commission of nature obliterated it at one blow
from the face of the earth. The book is very
certain to create a genuine sensation in the
literary and scientific world.
