"The Life and Letters of Joel Barlow,
LII. D., Poet, Statesman and Philosopher
with extracts from his works and hitherto
unpublished poems, by Charles Burr Todd,
is now published. The verse of Barlow
first gave American poetry standing abroad
and his prose assisted largely in the triumph
of republicanisn. in 1900. He was the first
American cosmopolite and the godfather of
the steamboat and canal. Also he was the
sponsor, with jefferson, of our present sys-
tenn of internal improvements. His bio
graphy has never been written, for he was
cut off suddenly in foreign land before his
crowning work was completed, with no chill
dren to preserve his literary work. The au-
thor of his life gives details rather than gen
eralizations and presents his subject as he
lived rather than ideally, and for this pur-
pose has told the story by Barlows own let
ters and writings. g. P. Putnam's Sons,
