Book Reviews.

TWENTY YEARS OF CoNGREss-from Lin
coin to Garfield, with a review Of the events
which led to the political revolution of186O
by James G. Blaine.
Tho second vOlumue of this remarkable
work is just to hand. 1t is compendium
of the history of the United States compiled
by one of the leading statesmen of those
eventful days. The name ofthe distinguish
ed author would ordinarily be sufficient to
''pace the book as publishers say. But in
this case the work can stand on its merits
alone. Mr., Blaine is good historian for the
e"gent reasons that he was prominent ac-
tor in the scenes his pen portrays. He has
! striven to be impartial though at the same
time it rnay be added as rather matter OF
good fortune in this case that the author
very often discloses his strong Union bias. Ii
is to be expected that such an undertaking
as description of the most intensely inter.
eSting chapter of our national history
would be somewhat lengthy. Over seven
nded pages are needed to cover the mat
ter Of the second volume. Necessarily a
great deal Of space is occupied in important
digressions such as the European, especially
British, political position as it affected us
during the great struggle. Mr.. Blaine
makes cOpious notes from the contemporary
debates in the Houses of Lords and Com.
mons. These are extremely interesting as
they bring strong side light upon other.

A drunkard's nose is never an object of

nose could conveiently examine his internal
anatomy he would find that his braiu, stum-

HISTORY OF RUSSIA, by Alfred Rambaut,
just issued from the press of John B, Alden,
New York, is a work of unusual interest,
and at the present juncture Of Eu opean po-
tical tension of extreme value. If any fault
can be found with the work it may be that
of its over comprehensivenes for the general
reader, in the light of the popular series style
that Mr.. Alden has been lately issuing.
But as regards history, that is the fault
which of all can be best tolerated.
The book is replete with evidence of un-
usual information upon the question. OF
European countries, it is strange to say,
Russia is the one of which we know the
least The trite adage ''scratch Russian
and yor will find Tatar" is completely
upset and dssipated after short excursion
into this learned treatise. The author, Pro.
fessor Alfred Rambaut, has lived in Russia.
He knows well what he speaks of. He holds
the position of professor of literature in the
faculty at Nancy, and is corresponding mem.
Der of the Academy of Sciences of St
Petersburg.
The work is well illustrated and the read
er is technically aided by unusually goot
maps of Russia, contemporareous with thu
matter treated in the contest,
valuable addition to the library.
