1.-The Countess Eve" is novel by J. H j..
Shorthouse. 1t is not the equal in dra-
matte interest of John Ipglesant," by
the same author, but in the matter of
analysis of the passions inspiring love, it
is his chief work. 1t is conception of d
strange character, and illustrates in the
most striking manner the struggle in man
between good and evil impulses. There
have been drawn no more tender and
beautiful pictures than that created of
Countess Eve" by Nj. Shorthouse's
Imagination, nor any more pitiful and
touching chapter illustrative of approach
to the verge of shame, and the rescue from
dishonor by the triumph of the better part
over the animal. The delicate emotional
tracery in the work has not been surpassed
in any modern book of fiction. Harper
Bros, New York, publishers.
G.. P. Putnams Sons have printed and J..
W. Roberts Il Co. of San Francisco, have
for sale a reissue of The Federalist," a

written in support of the Constitution
agreed upon September II, 1887, by the
Federal Convention. 1t is reprinted from
the original text of Hamilton, Jay and Madi-
son. 1t is edited by Henry Chabot Lodge.
The book is very compactly put together
and is in clear, leaded-type. 1t is wholly
unnecessary to remark upon the value OF
these famous essays, or to comment upon
the controversy concerning the authorship
of some numbers of The Federaiist." 1t
began seventy years ago and continues to
this hour.
