 "James Monroe" by D. c. Gilman, presi dent of Johns Hopkins University, is added to the American Statesmen series published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co.,, Boston. This biography is an appreciative and thorough one. The author occupied the whole of one summer vacation in searching through files of unpublished correspondence and public and private libraries for material for this bi- ography. He represents Monroe as 8 rash but enthusiastic young man who, as he ad- vanced in age, subdued his passions and even- tually became sagacious statesman. He was law student under Jefferson, member of the Continental Congress, Governor of Virginia an envoy to France, Spain and Eng land, Secretary of State and of War, and President for two terms, and throughout his entire career was 8 pure and incorruptible man. That he believed in America for Americans was evidenced by the famous Monroe doctrine, which he formulated in 1923, and to which a chapter is devoted MT. Gilman has succeeded in showing what President Monroe Twas in public, how he bore himself in the legislative, diplomatic and administrative positions to which he was called, and what influence he exerted upon the progress of this country" For sale in this city by H.
