SPECIAL TO hi SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Blaine's book
will not be in any sense a work OF REM
iniscence. Blaine has told friends with
whom he talked on the subject, that when
ever it became necessary to allude to his own
share in events in this period the allu-
sion will be simply historical, and not per-
sonal; in other words, whenever the name
of the author appears in the book 1t will
be as Mr.. Blaine, and not as l. 1t is e1-
pected that the book will make two octave
volumes, and elaborate in the introduc-
ton, reviewing the causes which led to
the political revolution of 1860. The
main work will probably be divided into
the first eight years Of Lincoln's and
Johnson's Administrations, dealing with
the wal Of the emancipation and the recon-
struction; IL years of Grants and Hayes
Administrations, dealing with the South
ern States governments, wrongs upon the
ballot box, enforcement Of the Acts of the
currency and railroad questions, Alabama
claims, annexation, civil service reform,
etc. The main portion of the book will,
Of course, have Blaine's;intimate personal
knowledge of the events of the times
upon which it treats. This viii make its
appearance an event Of national interest,
especially as its understood history
is a comprehensive one and will not
be confined to any particular side or phase
of the auti-slavery conflict and civil war as
has been the case with past histories writ
ten thus far. No one who remembers the
discriminating and analytical tone of his
eQlogy on Garfield, though delivered IN
der circumstances that would lead most
orators into profuse and ~unyarying eulogy,
will need be assured that Blaine's book
will be written in the spirit of the historian
for the future more than for the present.
In the preparation of this book and other
historical writings which Blaine said he
was contemplating, lie finds it necessary
to report az Washington where he can
have access not only to vast stores of doc
uments in the Congressional Library, but
to many original papers only to be found
in imprinted archives Of the Government.
No time is assigned for the publication Of
the book, but it is stated that it is to be
brought out by the Henry sill Publishing
Company, Norwich, Conn.
