HIS aim, the author says, has been in this
book TO presenta body Of really notable poetry
which the war evoked; a record Of the feel
ings and experiences of that heroic epoch as
:hey were wrought into lyrical expression,
And he appears TO have succeeded admirably.
Doubtless there are a great many eX- soldiers
in different parts of the country who will
recognize in this volume numerous poems
which gave them pleasure when they were in
their cOuntry's servlce-poems that had pass
ed from their recollection. The poems are
Northern and Southern. and they are mingled
together. There is nothing that is likely to
shock political sensbilities. The author par
ticularly dIsclalms any intention to do any
thing Of that kind. some OF the poems are
notably good and others will be appreciated
for the thought they contain.

Putnam's Sons, New York, publishers.

laws are, and those who read what he has
written will admit that he has met with con-
siderable success in his undertaking. He at
tacks the prncllle of protection, and ad-
vances remarkably strong arguments. lie
shows that the protective tariff causes hnaL-
cial panlcs. ruins mercantile business, causes
national mpoyerlshment, etc. The subject Is
ably treated.
