PICTURES OF LIFE IN CAMP AND FIELD.
] Price, in cloth, 81
The soldiers who served in the Army of the
| Cumberland will be especially pleased to know
that new edition of this popular work has
| been published and in price t$1) brought
within the reach of every one. 1t is not ex-
1 trayagaRt to claim that these descriptions of
actual campaigns and battles surpass in interest
anything in romance. DR.. Taylor has an ex-
cellent poetic fancy and power of word paint
ing equaled by few living writers. His war
poetry IS deseryedly POpular-a page, only, is
| quoted in the introduction. But the letter
/ which tells Of his experience IN reaching Chat
! tanooga could almost be set to music, though in
the form of prose; and his depletion Of the
charge at Mission Ridge and the capture of
| Lookout Mountain could certainly be read at
the beat Of drum. As the Army OF the Ten
nessee participated in these battles about Chat
| tanooga, the book will possess as much interest
for Its surviving veterans as for those of the
Army of the Cumberland. Every chapter will
make an old campaigner live over again in
| glowing fancy the heroic days The headings
are suggestive: After the Battle" Every
day Life under Canvas" Might Ride of the
Wounded Brigade" Hearing from Home"
Surveying on Horseback, !" Oldtime Forts and
New" Army Pets" :" Flag of Truce" DR..
Taylor has been claimed for the West because
! he was the Army correspondent of the Chicago
EUesing Journal, but he also visited the Army
| of the Potomac, and someaof the most valuable
of these sketches were written from its historic
/ fields. Among the chapters are Alexandra
in Ca" "The War Department" " Two Bat
tlefields Year Old" etc. Like all good pic
lures sketched on the spot and letters from
the field, these pen sketches have value that
no war writings Of to-day can possess. On
behalf of our constituency Of veterans we must
thank Messrs T. c. Griggs & Co. for this
] hon1 Oh hprlid ha in
every family where one went forth to the war,
TO help keep green the memory of those days
of hereism and sacrifice We understand the
book will be sent by mail by the publishers on
receipt Of the price. 1t is an old and hon.
orable publishing house, and will attend
promptly to such orders.
HISTORY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Embracing It's Origin, Growth and Mission. BY
Frank A. Flower. Published by the Union Pub
fishing Co.. Springfield, Ill
The preface sets forth the scope of this book
very truthfally and well, saying, " The volume
is essentially historical, containing, it is fairly
believed, a more authentic and detailed account
Of the early organization, struggles, and dis
ciples of the Republican party than has
hitherto been published in any form what
ever. After tracing the growth of Freedom
and Equality through a long period of dark
ness and crime, ii presents sketches OF all The
Republican State movements IN 1884; how,
when, and by whom the Republican name was
suggested and adopted view of the Provis-
ionaIsRepublican Convention Of February, 1856,
and OF the Nominating Conventions which have
followed 1t; the salient features of the various
political campaigns; lists of Delegates by States
TO National Conventions; historical accounts
of Republican Administrations, and of the lives
OF Republican Presidents; the financial achieve
rents Of the party; election methods in the
South; condition and prospects of the African
race; succinct chapter the Tariff; letters
of acceptance Of the Presidents, etc., etc. all
| carefully prepared and presented 1t is an in
valuable political handbook, and can be heart
ily recommended TO whoever wants to accu-
rately inform himself on the political history
of the country.

This is bold attack by clear-headed OBJ
server and most candid writer on leading points
and arguments made by Mr.. Henry George, in
his well-known - Progress and Poverty" and
Social Problems" Mr. Hanson is as radical
as the Land Reformer himself, in his views of
the fundamental changes necessary to true So
clal progress and has WARM sympathy for the
purposes Of Mr.. George but he disagrees radi-
cally with much Of his logic and many Of his
methods.
