The announcement that "Butlers Book
which has for some time been in prepara-
tion will soon be on the market, will
quicken the interest in the work which has
been felt throughout the Union. In Gen.
eral Butler the people have ever had Q
deep interest which has been we'll kept mp
10 the present. Whether believers In or
doubts Of his genuineness as Q man, no
one has ever held In doubt his valued
service in war, his ability In law. or his
zeal in political life. Americans love fair
play. Hence, whatever bias the popular
mind may have taken, "Butler's Book"
will have Q large sale for the simple rea-
son that il is direct testimony from Gen.
eral Butler himself. Made up 40 an
autobiography with personal reminis-
cences, IL can hardly fail 70 be readable
and Interesting.
In q review Of 3atler'z Book" nothing
10 more noticeable than the concise yet
full style OF matter. The wonder that so
much could be put 10 single volume Of
not unwieldy size disappears when close
study reveals all lack Of verbosity In mat

through several generations. His school
DAYS at Phillips Exeter Academy and later
at Waterville College; bis dash upon the
ology with the professors Of that institu-
tion. and his subsequent choice and study
OF the law as his profession-ail these
points In his early life are given with .
completeness OF detail which throws much
light on his later and more active part in
life.
General Butler's political life has been
an active one. His was position In the
front rank OF the campaign for shorter
hours for the working men Of Lowell. o
campaign which turned that busy city up
side down, but which has since resulted In
much OF good for lAborers. He also par
ticipated in the forming Of new par ties. and
Was prominent in all matters Of State and
national legislation. II Is possible for no
man to take an independent and bold
stand among politicians without arousing
the bitterest opposition. General Butler
claims that be has been maligned and
misrepresented, and freely cites good
authority in making good his positions.
II Is chiefly, however. in his military
capacity that the author Of this work
brings TO light documents. letters. maps.
etc. which are Of special value TO the
history Of our country. Here again he was
Q leader and here again did he arouse
vigorous hostility. We do not say that he
was wrong or right on few points which
have come to public notice. But what
ever his conrse. ID is certain that in this
book he opens much commentary evidence
entirely new 10 the public gaze which tells
it's own story completely.

lished 10 English, German and French.
and an enormous sale is assured. II is to
