The literary venture Of Mr.. William Wal
dorf Astor, exMinister TO Italy, Is a fine
production, mechanically speaking, and re-
fleets great credit on It's publishers, the
Scribners. The story itself-or rather his
tory, for 1t Is not romance In any SENSE
begins on a December morning, 1901, in the
castle OF 81. Angelo, In Rome, and Is carried
through n period of six years, during the
most exciting and porteutous period Of
Italian history. The reader Will not have
finished a chapter before being forced to ac
knowledge that It is ono of the best printed
and best written books that has ever ap.
pearcd In America; that each period is
rounded to full, and that n thorough stu
dent Of Italy and It's language is the
author.
If familiar with italian history one will
recognize at once the authorities that have
been drawn upon for all the conclusions at
which the book arrives. 1t is painfully
painstaking; IL is utterly without enthu-
siasm or flights of fancy; II is, throughout,
like some well committed lecture on q
moving panorama. Not one Of It's figures
breathe or have life; they are mere negatives
OF people who lived aud acted most dramatic
and tragic parts. Even the once potent
Alexander VI is but mere shadowy figure,
as he sits in the Vatican orgoes for formal
morning constitutional in the Papal gar
den. Nothing Of Spanish intensity nor
ecclesiastical subtlety is portrayed. Even
Lucretia Borgia, with unnumbered sins
clouding her girlhood days or after her
assumption Of II pious hypocrisy, is but a
walking lady upon the quickly shifting
stage. AS for Valentino, Cesar Borga,
the evident hero, there is but one situation
in the book where he is at all interesting,
and that Is in the clandestine meeting at
Castle Rocca Savcllo that occurred between
Valentino and Gnevrn. II is passionate
episode that is dellcately and well told, but
the stirring scenes Of warlike encounter,
dangerous ambuscade and camp bivouac
are tame and splritless, leaving no after
impression.
The book is utterly devoid of humor, and
although the wit of the Italian is still

GENERAL JOHN PoPE has an article
in the century for January ON "The
Second Battle of Bull Run" in which
he fatty denies the headquarters in
the Saddle" story, and says the express
sion is very old Chestnut. He
first heard it when a cadet at West
Point, and it vas then told on General
Worth This may be historically true,
but it was hardly worth while for Gen
eral Pope to bring the question up. 1t
was one of those things that the least
said about is soonest forgotten No
body cares whether the remark was ever
made by General Worth or not, but
during the present generation It will
remain by force of circumstances, If
not in strict justice, inseparably asso-
ciated with the name of John Pope
