This ia the concluding volume OF this
valuable work. The first volume was no.
t;csd bv us at the time of its issue by the
society last year. The lamented author re-
earded it as the most important OF MS lite
rary productions and termed 1t the mag
n,en op,ts of his life. He was engaged fully
thirty wears in its preparation and ayailed
himself of every attainsble reference to in
sure accuracy of details and conclusion
from books: manuscript records, and by
correspondence and personal interviews
with those conversant with the lives ana
motives of the patriotic actors
In tracing the careers OF seVeral OF them
DIR. CROSBY has comprehendedt the leglsia-
tive action of Virginia from the period OF
the stamp act of 1865 to the adoption Oh
the Federal Constitution, and has con-
tinued q picture of her position with re-
gard to matters Of national import ana her
action thereon down nearly to the year
1910. The peculiarly glowing and heroic
STYLE of Dr. GRIGsBY IL most engaglngiy
maintained in his personal descriptions
and in his presentation of causes and
events. No virginian library can well dis
pense with this lucid and essential MARIA
tive of the magnanimous action OF VIZ
GINA in the establishment OF our National
Government. The editor has enriched the
